Ah, the multiplication sign on a calculator is usually represented by a symbol that looks like an "x" or an asterisk "*". It's a friendly little symbol that helps us bring numbers together and create something new. Just look for that symbol on your calculator, give it a gentle press, and watch the magic of multiplication unfold before your eyes.
= or ent or enter
It's quite possible you're looking for the wrong symbol on the calculator to represent Multiplication. Instead of using the normal X sign, on a windows calculator, multiplication is represented by an asterisk - one of these -> * Multiplication exists on all Windows Calculators.
there is no reason. it should not be a star. bullcrap if you ask me. the multiplication symbol will always be a "X" in my eyes,
Don't press it!
The sign of multiplication is x or *
Purely a matter of convenience. 'x' is an acceptable character that means "multiplied by", and it appears on the keyboard, whereas the regular multiplication sign doesn't. Well . . . to be perfectly honest, we don't even know what a "regular multiplication sign" is. ======================================== Another contributor agreed: I was just going to ask that, what is a regular multiplication sign? For 50 years I have been using x I think he means when he says regular multiplication sign he means the dot that is used for algebra because x is a variable. P.S. I just learned about scientific notation and asked my teacher the same question. She didn't know.
The multiplication sign on my keybord is * or ctrl 8
