AAddends
BQuotients
CFactors
DRemainders
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Factors
1. The expression 3 x 8 combines two numbers using multiplication.
2. Each number being multiplied has a specific name, just as addends are named in addition.
3. We call each number being multiplied a factor, and the result is called the product.
4. Addends belong to addition, and quotients and remainders belong to division, so none of those name the numbers being multiplied.
