What is 2 × 3?

Answer

2 × 3 = 6

3 × 2 = 6 too: the order of the factors does not change the product.

FAQ

What is 2 × 3?

2 × 3 = 6

Is 3 × 2 the same as 2 × 3?

Yes — both come to 6, because multiplication is commutative. They are read differently, though: 2 × 3 is 3 lots of 2, and 3 × 2 is 2 lots of 3.

What divided by what gives 6?

6 ÷ 2 = 3 and 6 ÷ 3 = 2. Division undoes multiplication, so each of these two checks the other.
