Multiplication Definition in Math

Multiplication is one of the four basic arithmetic operations, alongside addition, subtraction, and division. In math, multiply means the repeated addition of groups of equal sizes. 

There are many ways to read an equation that involves multiplication. 

For example, $2\times 3=6$. It can be read as follows:

• Two multiplied by three is six.
• Two times three is six.
• Two threes are six. 

Symbol of Multiplication

Multiplication is represented by the signs cross (×), asterisk (*), or dot (·). While writing in your notebooks, you are most likely to use the cross. The asterisk and dot are used in computer languages and algebra (higher mathematics). 

For Ex :- 5 Χ 6 + 30

              5 * 6 = 30

              5 . 6 = 30
