MULTIPLICATION
            MULTIPLICATION



            When we multiply, we use the sign ‘ ’ and read it as ‘multiply                                        ’.
                                                                        ´

            Multiplication is also a repeated addition.








                           +                 +                 +                 +                 =      10









            If we add the number ‘2’ five times, we get 10.

            It is a repeated addition of the same number.




                                                             5
            We can write it as  :  2                   ´ = 10
