How multiplication works
Multiplication is one of the four basic arithmetic operations. It represents repeated addition of the same number.
Formula: a × b = a added to itself b times
For example, 5 × 15 means adding 5 fifteen times:
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 75
This is why 5 × 15 equals 75.
Examples of multiplication
Here are some examples of multiplication problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Solution | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 3 × 4 | 12 | 3 added to itself 4 times |
| 7 × 6 | 42 | 7 added to itself 6 times |
| 2 × 8 | 16 | 2 added to itself 8 times |
| 5 × 15 | 75 | 5 added to itself 15 times |
