What is 2 × 3?
Answer
2 × 3 = 6
2 × 3 = 6 — one of the 45 multiplication facts that the times tables hold. Below: the addition behind it, the two divisions that undo it and the row it sits in.
Where the Answer Comes From
Multiplying is adding the same number over and over: 2 × 3 is 3 lots of 2.
2 + 2 + 2 = 6
The Factors Can Be Swapped
3 × 2 comes to the same 6, because multiplication is commutative. The two are read differently — 2 × 3 is 3 lots of 2, 3 × 2 is 2 lots of 3 — and that is what makes swapping them a way to check the answer rather than a restatement of it.
3 × 2 = 6
The Divisions That Undo It
Where It Sits in the Tables
The same fact appears in two rows of the grid — in the 2 times table and in the 3 times table. Knowing one row therefore covers part of the other.
