Type the missing number.

Hint: Use the commutative property of multiplication.

3 × = 4 × 3

Commutative property:
You can multiply numbers in any order and get the same product.

To find the missing value, use properties of multiplication to make both sides of the equation look the same.

The commutative property says you can multiply numbers in any order and get the same product.

3 × ?

4 × 3

Apply the commutative property

3 × ?

3 × 4

Apply the commutative property

Now match up the two sides of the equation.

3 × ?

3 × 4

So, the missing value is 4.
