Concept of Multiplication
Multiplication is repeated addition of a number to itself.
Study the following example to understand it:
Example: Take 3 groups of 2 pens each as shown below.
How many pens are there in all?
(2 + 2 + 2) = 6 pens in all Thus, 2 three times = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6.
We write it as 2 × 3 = 6. ['×' is the symbol of multiplication.]
We say that 2 multiplied by 3 gives 6
or 3 times 2 is 6
or 2 into 3 is equal to 6.
We also say that the product of 2 and 3 is 6. 2 x 3 = 6 is a Multiplication Fact.
Form the above discussion,
We observe that multiplication is repeated addition of the same number.
In a multiplication sum, the number by which we multiply is called multiplier, the number which is multiplied is called multiplicand and the answer is called product.
