...Product That Multiplication is a short way of performing several additions, may be shown by setting down the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier, and adding up the numbers. Thus, in the first example : 425 425 425 It will be seen that the sum of... | |

...quantities in the following manner, (a -\-b-\-f) (c + d). Now, in multiplication, we propose to repeat the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier ; and hence, in this example, we are to repeat a -\-b-\-f as many times as there are units in c + rf.... | |

...numerator, or divide its denominator, by that number, for, as to multiply one number by another, it to take the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier, if the multiplicand be a fractional quantity, we must repeat that fractional quantity as many times... | |

...how many times the multiplicand is to be repeated, is called the multiplier. The number arising from repeating the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier, is called the product. The multiplicand and multiplier are called factors, or producers of the product.... | |

...b)—a-\-b. MULTIPLICATION. 40. Algebraic multiplication has the same object as arithmetical, viz., to repeat the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier. It is generally proved, in arithmetical treatises, that the product of two or more numbers is the same,... | |
