What action is used to find the unknown multiplier.

Let’s compose an example helper for multiplication, since it is when this action is performed that the components are called multipliers, and the result is called the product.

2 * 3 = 6.

How do you get a factor of 2 or a factor of 3?

2 = 6: 3; 3 = 6: 2.

In order to calculate, suppose, the unknown first factor (2), it will be necessary to divide the product (6) by the known second factor (3).

Let’s solve the equation.

x * 3 = 15.

x = 15: 3.

x = 5.
