Multiplication is simply a shortcut for repeated addition of the same number.
For example, 4 x 2 is the same as 2 + 2 + 2 + 2(two added to itself, four times).

Multiplication is successive Addition Division is successive subtraction
It means that in an addition such as: a + b + c it doesn't matter whether you do the addition on the left, or the addition on the right, first. Similar for multiplication.
The simple answer is that they are two of the basic algebraic functions (along with exponentiation). Division and subtraction are just the opposites of these so are different. Multiplication and addition are also similar because repeated addition is the same as multiplication (and repeated multiplication is exponentiation). The full answer is part of what is known as Algebraic Fields and shows how these functions relate to each other and to different systems of number. basically he said cuz they both increase the original value while division and subtraction decrease it
Bedmas is similar to PEMDAS. B = brackets (parentheses), E = exponents, D = division, M = Multiplication, A = addition, and S = Subtraction. Good luck! :-)
