Patterns with multiplying even and odd numbers
Sal explores the patterns in products when multiplying even and odd numbers.

- I thought the last video said odd times odd equals even?(2 votes)
- Is zero negative or positive?(1 vote)
- Good question! Zero is neither negative nor positive. Think of zero as neutral.
Only the numbers greater than zero are positive, and only the numbers less than zero are negative.

- At1:06of the video, David talks about that odd + odd = odd. But that doesn't make sense.. Because in "Intro to even and odd numbers", didn't he say that odd + odd = even?? & doesn't 3 x 3 = 6, 6 x 2 = 12, & 10 x 4 = 40-? I'm not sure if we really get this video.(0 votes)
- That is because in the other video was abourt addition. This is about multiplication.(2 votes)
- What does sum mean?(2 votes)
- The sum of two numbers is the combination of their values - that is, when you add them together.
The sum of2
and3
is5
, just as2 + 3 = 5
.
Same as product of two numbers -> multiplication.
The product of2
and3
is6
, just as2 * 3 = 6
.

- 3 x 3 = 9, my friend.(0 votes)
Video transcript
- [Instructor] We are told
Liam multiplies two numbers and gets an even product. What could be true about
the numbers Liam multiplied? It says Choose 2 answers. So pause this video and
see if you can figure out which two of these could be true. All right, now let's do this together. And we have to think
about what could be true. They don't have to be true. It just has to be possible. Okay, now is it possible
that both numbers were even? Can you multiply two even
numbers and get an even product? Well, sure. And I can imagine examples
that get us there. If you multiply two times
four, which is equal to eight, you have an even times an
even that gets you an even. In fact, in general, when you
multiply two evens together, you will get an even product. And so this is definitely,
this definitely could be true. Both numbers were odd. You might remember that
an odd times an odd is always going to be an odd, or you could look at a few examples and feel pretty confident
that that's the case. If you multiply three times
five, that's equal to 15. Odd times odd is equal to an odd number. If you multiply seven
times nine, you get 63. Once again, odd times odd is equal to odd. So there's no way that you
can multiply two odd numbers and get an even product. So we would rule this out. One number was even
and one number was odd. Well, let's think about what happens when you multiply an even times an odd. If I multiply two times
three, that's equal to six. So you have an even,
I'll just put an e there, times an odd, is equal to an even. And so the two ways that
you can get an even product is either if you're multiplying
an even times an even or an even times an odd. Essentially, an even times
either an even or an odd is going to give you an even product. Let's do another example. We're asked which of the
following have an even product? It says, once again, Choose 2 answers. So pause this video again, and see if you can figure it out. Okay, 8 fives. So 8 fives is the same
thing as eight times five, and this is a situation where
we're multiplying an even, e for even, times an odd, which
we've already talked about is going to give us an even
result, an even product. You don't even have to know
that eight times five is 40, which is an even number. We have an even times an odd, which is going to give us an even product. So this will definitely
give us an even product. An odd number times an even number. Well, we've already talked about that. Any even, odd, or an even times an even is going to give you an even product. So we can fill that one in. And then five times three,
you have an odd times an odd, which is going to give you an odd number. Even if you didn't know
that this is going to be 15, you would know that an odd times an odd is always going to give
you an odd product, not an even product. So we would pick these first two.
