Multiplication

In math, the “x” is used to signal multiplication. The final answer to a multiplication problem is called the product.

 

Examples:

For 2 x 2 ,

One would say “two times two”.

This means 2 + 2.

The product is 4.

 

For 3 x 5 ,

One would say “three times five”.

This means 5 + 5 + 5.

The product is 15.

 

For 4 x 6 ,

One would say “four times six”.

This means 6 + 6 + 6 + 6.

The product is 24.
