Multiplication (symbol "×") is the mathematical operation of scaling one number by another. It is one of the four basic operations in elementary arithmetic. For example: 2 times 4 is written as 4*2=8
There are four properties of Multiplication which makes multiplication easier and simpler. They are as follows:
Commutative property: When two number are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For example 4 * 2 = 2 * 4
Associative Property: When three or more numbers are multiplied, the product is the same regardless of the grouping of the factors. For example (2 * 3) * 4 = 2 * (3 * 4)
Multiplicative Identity Property of Multiplication: The product of any number and one is that number.
Distributive property: The sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number. For example 4 * (6 + 3) = 4*6 + 4*3
Multiplication is often written using the multiplication sign "×" between the terms. It is also denoted by a middle dot or a period.
