Multiplication as Repeated Addition

Multiplication as repeated addition is the concept of adding a number to itself a certain number of times. For example, 3 x 4 can be understood as 4 + 4 + 4.

5 x 3 can be expressed as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3.

This can be represented as 3 x 8.

4 x 6 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24.

To find the total number of items in groups, multiply the number of groups by the number of items in each group.

The multiplication sentence is 7 x 9.

Another way to show 2 x 6 is 6 + 6.

Multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition; it allows us to add the same number multiple times quickly.

This can be expressed as 5 x 2.

The product of 3 x 5 is 15.
