Multiplication is a process we can do with numbers. When we do multiplication, we take one number and add it to itself a certain number of times--like, for example, adding the number 2 to itself five times and getting 10. |
| multiplication sign |
One action we do with numbers is to multiply them together. An example of multiplying is "two times three equals six." When we write this in numbers, we use something called a multiplication sign (x) between the first two numbers: 2 x 3. The multiplication sign tells us that what is going to happen with these two numbers is multiplying. |
