In mathematics, the correct terminology is to say "multiply by" when indicating the operation of multiplication. This phrase signifies the action of using one number as a factor to increase the value of another number. Saying "multiply with" is not commonly used in mathematical contexts and may lead to confusion in communication.

Multiply by is the usual form. Multiply 3 by 4 to get 12.

If there are several numbers being multiplied then multiply .... together may be used... multiply 3, 4 and 5 together to get 60.
