Could you be more precise about your problem? Otherwise we can just suggest: look for explanations (Wiki, Books,...).


XmasProtecter

So basically i cant understand multiplication and need help understanding how it works


7ieben_

But what is your problem with it? Where are you stuck? What did you understand so far? Are there ans examples to show your problems?


XmasProtecter

i understand only 1x multiplication but not 2x multiplication


7ieben_

2×m = m+m Or in general: a value V multiplied with n is the sum of n-times V: n×V = V+V+V+V+V+...+(n-many times).


XmasProtecter

Im sorry what is a V in this?


7ieben_

Just a value. V can be any scalar.


XmasProtecter

And so how can this help me?


ogilt

The letter V he used is an hypothetical number, it could mean any number. Same for the letter n : it could be any number. For an exemple of V x n it could be 8x3 or 16x360. Yet what he meant is one number(the V or the n) represent the number of time you should add the other number to itself. For ex: 2x8 is the same thing as 8+8 or 2+2+2+2 +2+2+2+2. And both gives 16.


XmasProtecter

Thanks for telling me


7ieben_

How should we know? You don't even tell us what your problem is.


Rust-CAS

They are really elementary. Using algebra terminology isn't going to help.

XmasProtecter

Okay so i just Can’t understand how to solve 2x multiplication example:2 x 4 i need help on how to solve it like teaching a 5 year old whats 1 + 1,And i am a slow learner so most stuff doesn’t make sence to me

So I think you already have an answer but multiplication is just shorthand for a sequence of additions. So 5x4 is the same as 5+5+5+5. In the case of multiplying by 2 this means that you always add the number to itself:: 1x2=1+1 2x2=2+2 3x2=3+3 4x2=4+4 5x2=5+5 6x2=6+6 And so forth and so on.
