What does to multiply mean?
Suppose we have 6 x 3, that is a "multiply" operation. What it means is that if you start with zero and add to it 6 once, then to the result add another six, then to the result add another six, what would be the result. The result would be 0+6 = 6 6+6 = 12 12+6 = 18 "Multiply" means starting with zero, successive addition of a number a certain number of times retaining the accumulated value through the operations. It is cumbersome to do it this way and so we resort to "Multiply"
If you start with a number subtract fourteen and then divide twelve the result is 248 What is the original number?
Just work the problem backwards. The answer is 248. Something was divided by 12 in order to get it. If we MULTIPLY 248 by 12, we will find that number. We get 2,976. Now, we need to ADD 14, since 14 had originally been subtracted from the number we're looking for. Adding 14 we get 2,990.
Is multiply a greater number or part?
It depends. If you start with a positive number, then multiply by a positive greater than one and the answer is greater; multiply by 1 and the answer is the same; multiply by a number between 0 and 1 and the answer is smaller; multiply by 0 and the answer is 0; multiply by a number less than 0 and the answer is negative.
What is the rule for 3 15 45 225 675 in number sequence?
Start with 3 and multiply by 5 and 3 alternately in sequence.
Why is it that multiplying two negative integers gives a positive result but multiplying two positive integers cannot give a negative result?
It is well known that if you multiply a positive number (it doesn't have to be an integer) by another positive number the result is always a positive number. For example (+2.3) x (+2) = +4.6 Similarly, at school you learn that if you multiply a positive number by a negative number the result is always a negative number. For example (+19) x (-2) = -38 When you multiply two negative numbers you must get a positive result because of the way negative numbers "work", but why that is so is not usually explained at junior or high school. You learn why as part of learning about complex numbers in higher math at technical college or university. To be very brief, it is all to do with the behaviour of the operator "i". (For more information about it please see the answer to the related question shown below.) Because i2 is defined to be equal to -1 then it follows that i2 x i2 = +1 for the following reason: multiplying something by i2 means "apply the operator i twice" so, if you start with a positive number, multiplying it by i2 makes that positive number into a negative number. If you multiply that negative number by i2 again you make the result into a positive number. Overall you are applying the operator i four times so you can say that i2 x i2 (which is the same as i4) means "apply the operator i four times" and doing that gives a result which is a positive number. For example (-1) x (-2) = +2 could be written as: [(+1) x i2] x [(+2) x i2] = +2 x [(i2 x i2)] = +2 or even as (+1) x i2 x (+2) x i2 = +2 x i4 = +2

14... yay I'm so clever!!!
If yyou start with a numberadd5then multiply by 7the result is 133.what was the original number?
Let the number be x and if you mean 7*(x+5) = 133 then the value of x worls out as 14

What number do you start and end with every time you multiply?
There is no such number. You can start with a different number and end with different ones.

It depends. If you start with a positive number, then multiply by a positive greater than one and the answer is greater; multiply by 1 and the answer is the same; multiply by a number between 0 and 1 and the answer is smaller; multiply by 0 and the answer is 0; multiply by a number less than 0 and the answer is negative.
What is the difference between squaring a number and locating the square root of a number?
When you square a number, you multiply it by itself and the result is the square of that number.When you take the square root of a number, you start with an number and figure out what smaller number would produce your starting number if it were to be multiplied by itself.
