What is 5 × 5?
Answer
5 × 5 = 25
5 × 5 = 25 — one of the 45 multiplication facts that the times tables hold. Below: the addition behind it, the division that undoes it and the row it sits in.
Where the Answer Comes From
Multiplying is adding the same number over and over: 5 × 5 is 5 lots of 5.
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25
The Divisions That Undo It
Division undoes multiplication, so this fact gives one division back — both factors are the same number.
Where It Sits in the Tables
A square sits on the diagonal of the grid: it appears once, in the 5 times table, rather than twice like the other facts.
