CONCEPT OF MULTIPLICATION

MULTIPLICATION simply means addition of the same number with itself for given number of times.For Ex. 5*5 means             Addition of 5 five times i.e. 5+5+5+5+5=25.

• Multiplication is a  technique to know the result where the same numbers are added.

• It is also useful for making addition less time consuming.For Ex. 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+6+6+8         

   This can be solved as 2*+8*2+6*2+8*1                                                                             = 16+12+8                                                                                 = 16+20                                               =36
