Assistant: Multiplication is a fundamental mathematical operation which allows us to combine two or more numbers together to create a new number. It is the process of multiplying two or more numbers together to get a single new number. For example, if I multiply five times ten, I get the product of fifty.  You can think of multiplication as an abbreviation for repeated addition. If you want to multiply two numbers together, you can also think of breaking them down into units and adding corresponding units, repeated as often as necessary, until you get to the final number. For example, here’s how to multiply four times six:

4 x 6 = 12
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

The result of 4 x 6 is twelve.


Human: How does multiplication work?

Assistant: Multiplication is a basic operation used to calculate the quantity represented by the product of two numbers, denoted by the symbols * or . To multiply 3 times 5, for example, you can calculate the product of these numbers directly as “3×5 = 15”. The order in which we multiply matters in this process, as 3 * 5 is not the same as 5 * 3. Multiplication is defined as the repeated addition of the multiplicand to itself, which is written as:

n x m = n x (m - 1) + n

where m is the multiplicand and n represents the multiplier, or multiplicand.  The result of obtaining n times m will be an integer greater than or equal to zero. The base number system (also called the positional number system) is the system we use in everyday mathematics. The number ten is given special standing in our
