It's another word for the first number in a multiplication sentence.
Multiplicand times multiplier equals product.
The quantity to be multiplied by the multiplier is called multiplicand. Say sin(x) is multiplied by 5. Then sin(x) is the multiplicand. 5 is the multiplier. If sin(x) is the multiplier, then 5 would become the multiplicand.
When it comes to math, the multiplicand is the number that you multiply. For example, in the problem 5 x 3 equals 15, the 5 is the multiplier and the 3 is the multiplicand.
Multiplier x multiplicand = product

I was actually wondering the same thing to . . . I did some research for my math quiz and I fould out the Mutiplicand comes before the Multiplier . . .If you look at it logically . . . the Multiplier is suppose to be Multipling something . . . so if you put it first it couldn't multiply anything . . . that is why the Multiplicand comes before the Multiplier.The order is . . .Multiplicand . . . Multiplier . . . Sum
the word by means 'times' or 'multiply'
The word at means the least
If your math teacher is insisting that you learn terms like "multiplicand" and thinks it makes a difference whether you multiply AxB or BxA, then go to the school office and see if you can get transferred to a different class. Multiplication is commutative.
