What is 4 × 2?
Answer
4 × 2 = 8
4 × 2 = 8 — 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: 4 × 2 is 2 lots of 4.
4 + 4 = 8
The Factors Can Be Swapped
2 × 4 comes to the same 8, because multiplication is commutative. The two are read differently — 4 × 2 is 2 lots of 4, 2 × 4 is 4 lots of 2 — and that is what makes swapping them a way to check the answer rather than a restatement of it.
2 × 4 = 8
The Divisions That Undo It
Where It Sits in the Tables
The same fact appears in two rows of the grid — in the 4 times table and in the 2 times table. Knowing one row therefore covers part of the other.
