multiplication
[ muhl-tuh-pli-key-shuhn ]
noun
- Arithmetic. a mathematical operation, symbolized by a × b, a ⋅ b, a ∗ b, or ab, and signifying, when a and b are positive integers, that a is to be added to itself as many times as there are units in b; the addition of a number to itself as often as is indicated by another number, as in 2×3 or 5×10.
- Mathematics. any generalization of this operation applicable to numbers other than integers, as fractions or irrational numbers.
multiplication
/ ˌʌɪɪˈɪʃə /
noun
- an arithmetical operation, defined initially in terms of repeated addition, usually written a × b, a.b, or ab, by which the product of two quantities is calculated: to multiply a by positive integral b is to add a to itself b times. Multiplication by fractions can then be defined in the light of the associative and commutative properties; multiplication by 1/ n is equivalent to multiplication by 1 followed by division by n: for example 0.3 × 0.7 = 0.3 × 7 10 = (0.3 × 7)/10 = 2 1 10 = 0.21
- the act of multiplying or state of being multiplied
- the act or process in animals, plants, or people of reproducing or breeding
multiplication
/ ŭ′tə-ĭ-′ə /
- A mathematical operation performed on a pair of numbers in order to derive a third number called a product. For positive integers, multiplication consists of adding a number (the multiplicand) to itself a specified number of times. Thus multiplying 6 by 3 means adding 6 to itself three times. The operation of multiplication is extended to other real numbers according to the rules governing the multiplicative properties of positive integers.
- Any of certain analogous operations involving mathematical objects other than numbers.
