Q 1. Find all the multiplication combinations you can for these two numbers, using whole numbers. Start by multiplying two factors. Then find ways to multiply with more than two factors.

18 & 180

Q 2. How did finding the ways to multiply with two numbers help you find ways to multiply with more than two numbers?

I hope this is what you are l00king

for:

18 = 1 * 18 = 1 * 2 * 9 = 1 * 2 * 3 * 3

180 = 1 * 180 = 1 * 2 * 90 = 1 * 2 * 2
* 45 = 1 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 15 = 1 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5

2. I noticed that the larger of the 2 factors could be factored further.

I don't now

A1. To find all the multiplication combinations for two numbers (18 and 180) using whole numbers, we can start by multiplying the two factors.

1. First, let's multiply the two factors:
- 18 x 1 = 18
- 18 x 2 = 36
- 18 x 3 = 54
- 18 x 6 = 108
- 18 x 9 = 162
- 18 x 18 = 324

2. Next, let's find ways to multiply these two numbers with more than two factors.
- 18 x 2 x 3 = 108
- 18 x 6 x 1 = 108
- 18 x 9 x 2 = 324
- 18 x 3 x 6 = 324

So, the multiplication combinations using two factors are 18, 36, 54, 108, 162, and 324. And the multiplication combinations using more than two factors are 108 and 324.

A2. Finding the ways to multiply with two numbers helps us find ways to multiply with more than two numbers because it allows us to explore different combinations and permutations of the factors. When we multiply with two factors, we get a set of products. By introducing additional factors, we can combine these products in various ways to obtain new products. In other words, finding the ways to multiply with two numbers provides a starting point to build upon and generate more complex multiplication combinations.
