...Multiplier 3456 Product That Multiplication is a short way of performing several additions, may be shown by setting down the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier, and adding up the numbers. Thus, in the first example : 425 425 425 It will be seen that the sum of the — addition... | |

...quantities in the following manner, (a -\-b-\-f) (c + d). Now, in multiplication, we propose to repeat the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier ; and hence, in this example, we are to repeat a -\-b-\-f as many times as there are units in c + rf. By... | |
