Multiplying By One

Friendly stylized number one character

When we multiply by 1, the value stays the same.

Example: 12 × 1 = 12

Also when the 1 is in the front of the multiplication:

Example: 1 × 5 = 5

Or in the middle:

Example: 6 × 1 × 7 = 6 × 7 = 42

This simple idea is called the Multiplicative Identity. Think of 1 as a "magic number" that leaves any number unchanged when multiplied!

But don't get carried away, this only works for multiplies. Adding or subtracting 1 changes the value!
