Answer

6 × 7 = 42

7 × 6 = 42 too: the order of the factors does not change the product.

The 6 times table, 6 × 1 to 6 × 9
× 16	× 212	× 318	× 424	× 530	× 636	× 742	× 848	× 954

7 lots of 6: 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 42

Undo it by dividing

6 × 7 = 42

Yes — both come to 42, because multiplication is commutative. They are read differently, though: 6 × 7 is 7 lots of 6, and 7 × 6 is 6 lots of 7.

42 ÷ 6 = 7 and 42 ÷ 7 = 6. Division undoes multiplication, so each of these two checks the other.
