Level 3-4 Numbers - Multiplication and Division

After addition and subtraction, multiplication and division are the most common parts of maths. If you want to find the product of two numbers then multiply them together. The numbers that we can divide a number by are it's factors. Products and factors are just two parts of multiplication and division - there's so much more! This KS3 Maths quiz will test your multiplication and division skills.

Multiplication and division are often used by people in their everyday life, especially when going shopping! You are buying three videogames. They cost £25 each so how much will you spend? To find the total multiply £25 by 3. If you know the answer then you know just how much you are spending. Dividing numbers quite often produces a 'leftover' number. This is called a remainder. You may have to convert this into a fraction. It is worth revising the multiplication tables until you know the answers by heart. That will help a lot with multiplication and division.

Try this Maths quiz on multiplication and division to get you up to speed.
