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"
