Multiplication
Definition: Repeated addition
Symbol: " x "
Rule:
Multiplicand x Multiplier = Product
1.Take the repeated values in an operation
2. Multiply them with the number of their repetitions respectively- Example 1:
7+7+7+7= 7 x 4
(Because the repeated value here is 7, and it was repeated 4 times) - Example 2:
2+2+2 + 4+4+4+4+4
= 2 x 3 + 4 x 5
(2 and 4 are repeated values and they are repeated 3 and 4 times respectively) - Example 3:
In turn, we also can write into these:
8 x 6= ?
There are 2 ways to represent this operation.
We can write like:
6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6
(The number 6 is repeated 8 times)
Or:
8+8+8+8+8+8
(The number 8 is repeated 6 times)
- Example 1:
