Multiplication is one of the basic operations in mathematics that represents repeated addition. So in multiplication one number is added a number of times to get the results. Multiplication is represented by the signs cross ‘×’, asterisk ‘*’, or dot ‘·’. The numbers that are multiplied are called the factors and the result after multiplication is called the product. So, multiplication is an arithmetic operation to find the product of two or more numbers.
Properties of Multiplication
Multiplication by 1: the multiplication of a number with 1 is always the number itself, for example- 15X1=15.
Multiplication by 0: the multiplication of a number with 0 is always zero, for example-95X0=0
The order does not matter in multiplication, the result remains the same. For example, 8X5=5X8=40.
While multiplying three or more numbers, grouping can be done in any order to get the result. For example: 2x4x6x3=(2×4)x(6X3)=(2×6)x(4X3)=(2×3)x(4×6)=(2x4x3)x6. In all the above cases the result is the same as 144. So numbers can be grouped in any order to get the product.
Multiplying by 10: While multiplying by 10 simply insert one 0 to the right of the number. For example, 4×10=40, here simply a 0 is inserted on the right of the number 4.
Multiplying by 100: while multiplying by 100 simply insert two “0” s to the right of the number. For example, 6×100=600.
Multiplying by 20, 30, 40, etc.: While multiplying a number with 20, 30, 40, etc. simply write a “0” at one’s place and then multiply the remaining numbers. For example, to multiply 30 with 7 put zero at one’s place, and then multiply 3 with 7 and write before 0. The answer is 30×7=210.
Solving Multiplication Worksheet or multiplication problems will be easier if you learn the multiplication chart or multiplication table by heart. The multiplication table is provided in Fig. 1 for your reference.
Multiplication chart or Multiplication table is a very useful mathematical tool to find the product of two numbers in the chart. Refer to Fig. 1 to find an example of a multiplication chart.
Fig. 1: Multiplication chart or Multiplication table
Using this multiplication chart is very easy. To multiply two numbers in this table simply find the numbers in the column and rows and find the overlapping cell to find the product of multiplication. For example in the above figure multiplication of 6 X 4 is 24. Find 4 in column and 6 in rows and find the overlapping cell 24 to find the result.
