Mathematics - Multiplication ( 2 x 3 = 6 )

Multiplication is another basics of mathematics. What is Multiplication?

Multiplication is the scaling one number by another. 

For example, 3 multiplied by 4 (often said as "3 times 4") can be calculated by adding 4 copies of 3 together:

3 X 4 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
3 X 4 = 12

Here 3 and 4 are the "factors" and 12 is the "product".

The symbol of Multiplication is:

( Often spelled as 'times' )


Here are the tables of Multiplication:

Now you try:
Imagine you have a bag of 3 stones

If you multiply ( X ) that bag with 4 times, how many stones would you have?

(After multiplication, you would have 4 bags)

Now you will have 4 bags with 3 stones in each bag.
So, after multiplication, you now have a total of 12 stones.
