什么是 Multiplication?

又称: product

Definition 10.1 Primary & Middle School Mathematics · 第 10 章 — Multiplication: First Steps

4×34 \times 3 means “four times three”:

4×3=3+3+3+3=12.4 \times 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 .

The sign is ×\times, read “times”. The answer is the product (multiplication grows up in Chapter 16).

An array: 4 rows of 3. Counting by rows gives 4 × 3; the same dots by columns give 3 × 4 — so the order does not matter.
An array: 44 rows of 33. Counting by rows gives 4×34 \times 3; the same dots by columns give 3×43 \times 4 — so the order does not matter.

示例

Example 10.2 (Order does not matter)

4×34 \times 3 and 3×43 \times 4 count the same 1212 dots, one by rows, one by columns. Turning the array on its side proves it. So learning one product gives its twin for free.

Definition 16.1 Primary & Middle School Mathematics · 第 16 章 — Multiplication

The product 3×73 \times 7 means “three times seven”:

3×7=7+7+7=21.3 \times 7 = 7 + 7 + 7 = 21 .

On a picture, 3×73 \times 7 is a rectangle of dots: 33 rows of 77 dots.

The same 21 dots, counted by rows or by columns: the order of a product does not matter. Knowing 3 × 7 gives 7 × 3 for free — half the tables to learn!
The same 2121 dots, counted by rows or by columns: the order of a product does not matter. Knowing 3×73 \times 7 gives 7×37 \times 3 for free — half the tables to learn!
