What is MULTIPLICATION.

 

Basically multiplication is just repeated addition.One of the numbers is the number you add over and over again and the other number is how many times you add that number.It does not matter which number does which place you still get the same answer, this is called The Commutative Property of Multiplication. for example let’s do 6×5 the 5 can be the number you add over and over,6 can be the number of times you add that number. so we add 5,6 times that is 5+5+5+5+5+5=30. Here is some multiplication vocabulary.the two numbers used to get the answer are the factors.The answer to a multiplication problem is the product. now we have to go to the rules of multiplication.anything times 1 equals that number. ex. 6×1=6 or 11×1=11. next anything times 2 you just double the number(you add it twice) ex. 2×4=8 or 2×12=24. next is anything times three is triple that number(add it Three times) ex. 3×8=24 or 3×6=18.Or you can double the number then add it ex.6×3 (6×2=12+6=18) or(3×8 8×2=16+8=24). next anything times 4 is you double it then you double it again. ex.6×4(6×2=12×2=24) well that is everything to know about multiplication.
