What is multiplication?

Answer 1

* 2 times 3 equals 6 (2 x 3 = 6). This means 2 bags of apples with 3 apples in each bag. You can get the answer by added the two bags together (3 + 3 = 6). * 3 times 3 equals 9 (3 x 3 = 9). This time we have three bags of apples, still with 3 apples inside each bag, and the answer is 3 + 3 + 3 = 9) So multiplying a number is really adding it to itself the number of times required.

4 times 10 (4 bags of 10) is the same as 10 + 10 + 10 + 10. (You could also get the same answer with 10 bags of 4. (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4. The answer is the same for both, 40.)

4 times 5 is the same as 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4. (You could also say 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 and get the same answer, 20.) ---- ).

Answer 2

Multiplication is basically repeated addition. Example: 5x3=? Well, if you add 5 three times: 5+5+5= 15. So, 5x3= 15.

Answer 3

it is repeated addition but in an easier way
