1. The answer to a multiplication problem is called the _product_.
✔ Explanation: In multiplication (e.g., 3 × 5 = 15), the result (15) is called the *product*.
---
2. An _array_ is a collection of objects arranged in rows and columns, such as desks in a classroom.
✔ Explanation: An *array* is a rectangular arrangement of objects — perfect for visualizing multiplication (e.g., 4 rows × 3 columns = 12 objects).
---
3. In the number 4,753, the seven is in the _hundreds_ place, which is the digit three to the left of a decimal point.
✔ Explanation: Place value: 4,753 → 4 (thousands), 7 (hundreds), 5 (tens), 3 (ones). So “7” is in the *hundreds* place.
---
4. The number multiplied by another number to obtain the product is called the _factor_.
✔ Explanation: In 6 × 7 = 42, both 6 and 7 are *factors* of the product 42.
---
5. When you _multiply_ five and three, you will get a product of fifteen.
✔ Explanation: The action of multiplying 5 and 3 gives 15. So the verb is *multiply*.
---
6. The _thousands_ place is the number that is four to the left of a decimal point, or the number 8 in the number 8,432.
✔ Explanation: In 8,432 → 8 is in the *thousands* place (positions: thousands, hundreds, tens, ones).
---
7. The word _multiple_ means a number that is the product of a counting number and some other number.
✔ Explanation: A *multiple* is what you get when you multiply a number by a whole number (e.g., multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12...).
---
8. Usually a person will need to _regroup_ when they are multiplying two double digit numbers.
✔ Explanation: *Regrouping* (carrying over) happens when the partial product exceeds 9 — common in multi-digit multiplication (e.g., 27 × 3 → 7×3=21, carry the 2).
---
9. A number sentence, or an _equation_, shows that two quantities are equal.
✔ Explanation: An *equation* uses an equals sign (=) to show equality (e.g., 4 × 5 = 20).
---
10. A _digit_ is one of the ten numerals one through 9, or the number symbols we use on our numbering system.
✔ Explanation: A *digit* is any single numeral from 0 to 9. (Note: The question says “one through 9”, but technically includes 0 — still, *digit* is correct.)
---

1.
