The factors are the numbers that are being multiplied together. The product is the result or answer of multiplying the multiplicand by the multiplier. A multiplication problem may be written horizontally such as 2 x 7 = 14. In this example 2 and 7 are the factors and 14 is the product of the multiplication. A multiplication problem may be written vertically. 2 x 7 14.
