There 3 to 4 symbols of multiplication depending on the condition.
- If you are using computer for calculation the only symbol of multiplication is *.
- If you are using calculator the symbol for multiplication is x.
- If you are solving equation in paper the symbol for multiplication b/w variables are mostly represent by a dot(.) or the place is left empty.
A.B or AxB the answer will be same is scalar calculation but will be different on vector calculation. If use scalar calculation 'AB' will also represent multiplication b/w two variables. But it is only applicable on variables.
- If we use scalar number in equation like 3(4-3)*3=9; here '3(' is representing the multiplication b/w the number and the bracket. If there is any number before a bracket without any symbol then this will show that the number is multiplying by the bracket values.

What does the x stand for in maths?
At the lower levels it stands for multiplication, at more advanced levels it stands for the cross product of vector multiplication (in three or seven dimensions). The multiplication operator can also be a dot on the line ( . ), a dot above the line ( 𝆴 ), an asterisk ( * ), and probably some other symbols as well.
What are algebreic expressions?

The Associative Property of Multiplication?
This is stated in symbols: (a x b) x c = a x (b x c). In other words, you get the same result whether you multiply the two numbers on the left first, or first the two numbers on the right. This refers to multiplication of real numbers, as usually defined; there have indeed been operationes defined, also known as "multiplication", that don't fulfill this property.
Why multiplication does not exist on a windows caculater?
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.
