MULTIPLICATION

LESSON 11

Multiplication is a short operation of finding the sum of as many expressions of one number as there are units in another number.

9

9

9

9

36

9

4

36

For example, if we wish to find the sum of four 9's by addition, we express 9 four times, as in the operation at the left, and add the column, finding the sum 36.

But in multiplication, such facts as 4 times 9 are 36, are committed to memory by means of a multiplication table, and employed in finding the result with larger numbers.

The Multiplicand is the number which is to be taken a certain number of times.

The Multiplier is the number which shows how many times the multiplicand is to be taken.

The Product is the result obtained by taking the multiplicand a certain number of times.

DIVISION

The Divisor is the number by which we divide.

The Quotient shows how many times the dividend contains the divisor, or the value of one of the equal parts into which the dividend has been divided.
