What is Multiplication?

Multiplication is the repeated addition of a number. If we multiply m by n, that means m is repeatedly added to itself for n times. The symbol for multiplication is ‘×’.

For instance, 8 multiplied by 4 is equal to 32. How? Adding 8, 4 times to itself,  we get;

8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32

Therefore, we can write,

8 x 4 = 32
