Missing factor worksheets
Missing-factor questions like __ × 8 = 56 ask children to reason backwards from a product, which is exactly the thinking division requires. They reveal whether a child understands the relationship between multiplication and division or has only memorised forwards facts.

Adjusting this worksheet
Introduce missing factors only after forwards facts are reasonably fluent for the chosen tables. The mixed mode interleaves both question styles on one page, which is ideal for revision. Expect slower work than on facts pages — halve the question count at first.
