...to attend to multiplication by positive whole numbers. This, according to the definition (Art. 90) is taking the multiplicand as many times, as there are units in the multiplier. Suppose a is to be multiplied by 6, and that b stands for 3. There are, then, three units in the multiplier... | |

Multiplying by I , is taking the multiplicand once, as a. Multiplying by 2, is taking the multiplicand twice, as a+a.... | |

...idea which we have given of multiplication, we see that we could perform this operation by writing the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier, and afterward performing the addition. For instance, to multiply 7 by 3, we could write 7 + 7 + 7,... | |
