Multiplication
What is multiplication? It is the process of adding a number to itself as many times as given by the multiplier.
Example 2*3. Add 2 with itself 3 times. 2+2+2 = 6
Or 3*2. Add 3 with itself 2 times. 3+3 = 6
Example 3*5. Add 3 with itself 5 times. 3+3+3+3+3 = 15
Or 5*3. Add 5 with itself 3 times 5+5+5 = 15
With that basics, We will move on to two digit multiplication.
Example 23 * 24 = 552. Add 23 with itself 24 times.
That's bit lengthy. So we will break it into pieces.
Add 23 with itself 20 times + Add 23 with itself 4 times.
23 * 20 + 23 * 4.
We know that
To add 23 with itself 20 times = (Add 23 with itself 2 times) * 10 = ( 23 + 23 ) * 10 = 460
Now
Add 23 with itself 4 times. 23 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 92
The result is 460 + 92 = 552.
Now we will learn about the process of multiplication.
