Multiplication On the Number Line
A number line is a way to represent numbers on a straight horizontal line such that they can be extended in both directions. On a number line one can easily find the product of two numbers and thus multiplication operation is easily carried on the number line.
On a number line, suppose if we have to find the product of 3 and 4 then we first mark 0 on the number line and then take a jump of 3 four times. The number on which we land at the end is the product of 3 and 4. (here, in this case, the product of 3 and 4 is 12). The same is explained in the image added below,
But for large numbers finding multiplication using a number line is not convenient.
Multiplication: Definition, Symbol, Table
Multiplication is a mathematical operation that involves two or more numbers to produce a third number called the product. The numbers that are multiplied are called the factors. Multiplication is a basic math operation, along with addition, subtraction, and division.
Multiplication can also be thought of as scaling quantities. For example, 3 being multiplied by 2 gives 6 as a result.
Let’s learn about the methods, formulas, and examples of multiplication in maths.
