How do you say 6x2 then? - 0074b507, Nov 29, 2010
And when do you use es vs son (Nila's vs RLevy's)? - 0074b507, Nov 29, 2010
@RLevy "divided by" no quiere decir "por". Por = Times/Multiplied by. Entonces seis "por" dos son doce, no tres. divided by = dividido entre. Seis "dividido entre" dos son tres. - p_man111, Jan 6, 2016

So, is "por" ever used in division (the article says informally)? - 0074b507, Nov 29, 2010
