I want to learn about: Multiplication and Division

In today’s post, we’re going to learn how to multiply numbers that are followed by zeros. You could go about multiplying them like any other number, but we have a trick to teach you, and it’s easy to learn! The most important thing when you learn a trick is to remember why is works the […]

What is scientific notation? Why do we use it? How do we use it? How can we write a number in scientific notation? These are some questions that we’ll answer in today’s post.   What is scientific notation and why do we use it? Working with very large or small quantities usually ends up being […]

In this post we will learn a strategy to divide by 2 (halves), by 4 (fourths) or by 8 (eighths) mentally. We will start by looking at the concept of halving: Divide by Halves: To divide by 2, we just have to look for half of the number. For example, to divide 24/2, we find […]

In this post we will learn the criteria of divisibility by 5. A number is divisible by 5 when dividing the number by 5 results in a remainder of zero. But how can we know without having to complete the division? Here we show you the easiest way.   Divisibility criteria for 5: To determine if a number is […]

In this post we are going to learn a simple way of multiplying by 25 and 75. First, we’ll learn the method and then we’ll give mental math a shot.   Multiplying by 25: The number 25 is 100 divided by 4. So, in order to multiply by 25 what we have to do is […]

The associative property states that the way in which factors are grouped together doesn’t affect the result of an operation: (A x B) x C = A x (B x C) Okay, so we know that the volume of a prism is calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height: (B x […]

Today we are going to look at some examples on solving 1-digit division problems. In these types of problems, we need to divide numbers by a divisor that only has 1 digit. Before starting, feel free to click on the following links to review how to divide by 1-digit numbers: Division Word Problems With Decimals Ready?  Let’s […]

Today we are going to learn how to calculate factorials. Calculating factorials is quite simple; let’s see what it’s all about: What is the Factorial Function? We represent the factorial function with the exclamation point “!”, placing it after the number. This exclamation means that we need to multiply all of the whole numbers that […]

In this post, we are going to learn a very simple strategy for multiplying by 2, 4, and 8. Strategy for Multiplying a Number by 2: Multiplying by two is really easy, right? We just have to add the number to itself and we’ll get the answer. For example: 2 x 48 = 48 + 48 […]

In this post, we are going to learn to analyze, think about, and solve problems that require division: division problems. At Smartick, we want to emphasize the fact that you have to know how to solve any kind of math problem accurately. As a result, we are going to give you a variety of problems […]
