Fill in the blank to make each number sentence true.
How to solve
You can switch the order of factors (3 × 5 = 5 × 3), group them in any way ((2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4)), or break a factor into parts (6 × 7 = 6 × 5 + 6 × 2). Any number times 1 is itself, and any number times 0 is 0.
Example
___ × 5 = 5 × 5
Answer: 5
