Multiplication of Whole Numbers Multiplication of Whole Numbers Whole number set is defined as the collection or set of all the natural numbers like 1, 2, 3...........n and also includes the number zero (0). The whole number multiplication it is just like repetition of the addition; this means that multiplication is a shortcut of the addition of the given whole number. It can be explained as an example that if we want to add 3 four times then it should be written as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 and when we talk about the multiplication of numbers then it makes the process short by using the expression like ( 3 * 4 ) = 12. Thus multiplication is just repetition of the addition operation. When we talk about the Whole Number Multiplication, the multiplied numbers are known as the factors and the result is called as the product of factors. The multiplication of the whole numbers is explained with the help of some examples. Here 5 and 2 are the factors of multiplication process and the 10 that is the result is known as the product of factors 5 and 2. Here it is the simplest form of multiplication that is the single digit multiplication. In single digit multiplication, we align the numbers to one another in a way that the ones digit of a number is set on the other ones of another number. Know More About :- Operation Division

For instance, if want to calculate ( 122 * 2 ) then it is written as 122 *2 --------244 (Just multiply the each digit of 122 with 2 and get the answer 244) Example: ( 145 * 5 ) It is written as 145 *5 ----------725 (in this multiplication when multiply 5 with 5 then it gives the tens digit that is 25. Then the number 2 goes as carry on the number 4 and 5 remains in the answer. Then we multiply the number 5 with 4 that is 20 and then add the carry 2 into it that is equal to 22. Number 2 remains in answer that is ones digit of 22 and tens digit goes as the carry on the number 1. When we multiply 5 with 1 it gives 5 and we add the carry 2 that is equal to 7. So at last the answer is 725.) Multiply with zero: when any number is multiplied with zero, the result is always zero. It can be explained as Q. 12 * 10 = ? A. 12 *10 --------00 12* Read More About :- property of division
