It is called multiplication.
Ah, that's a wonderful question, friend. When you combine equal groups to find out how many in total, we call that multiplication. It's like adding groups together to see the big picture. Remember, there are many ways to create beauty in math just like in painting, so keep exploring and creating!
If, by "equal groups", you mean groups of equal things, you get how many in all [the total number] by simply addingthem all together. Sometimes adding is called summation.If, by "equal groups", you mean equal-sized groups of things, you get how many in all by multiplying the number of groups by the number of things in each member group.The number of things in a group is also called its cardinality. Loosely, cardinality is the size of the group, or the number of elements ["things"] in the group.
To find out how many equal groups of 8 are in 32, you would divide 32 by 8. The quotient is 4, which means there are 4 equal groups of 8 in 32. This can also be represented as 32 ÷ 8 = 4.
