MULTIPLYING Meaning and Definition

1. Multiplying is a mathematical operation that involves combining two or more quantities together repeatedly in order to determine their total value or quantity. It is a fundamental operation in arithmetic and is represented by the multiplication sign (×) or by placing the numbers or quantities adjacent to each other. In multiplication, the numbers involved are typically referred to as factors: the number being multiplied is called the multiplicand, and the number by which it is being multiplied is called the multiplier.

   The process of multiplying consists of repeatedly adding the multiplicand to itself a certain number of times equal to the value of the multiplier. For example, multiplying 3 by 4 can be understood as adding three four times (3 + 3 + 3 + 3), resulting in the product of 12. Multiplication is commutative, meaning that the order of the factors does not affect the result. Thus, multiplying 3 by 4 or 4 by 3 will yield the same product of 12.

   Multiplying is used extensively in various aspects of life, including calculations involving measurements, money, quantities, and patterns. It is a crucial skill for solving problems in more advanced branches of mathematics, such as algebra and calculus. Additionally, multiplication plays an essential role in real-life applications and scientific calculations, making it an indispensable operation in our daily lives.

Etymology of MULTIPLYING

The word "multiplying" has its origins in the Latin word "multiplicare", which is a combination of "multi-" meaning "many" and "plicare" meaning "to fold, bend, or twist". Therefore, the literal meaning of "multiplicare" is "to fold many times" or "to make many folds". Over time, this evolved into the mathematical sense of "repeated addition" or "increasing a number by a certain factor". The word "multiplying" in English is derived from this Latin origin.
