1 : the act or process of multiplying : the state of being multiplied\n\n2 a : a mathematical operation that at its simplest is an abbreviated process of adding an integer to itself a specified number of times and that is extended to other numbers in accordance with laws that are valid for integers b : any of various mathematical operations that are analogous in some way to multiplication of the real numbers but are defined for other or larger sets of elements (as complex numbers, vectors, matrices, or functions)

In multiplying you have to multiply the numerators and demoninators and simlify. and in dividing you have to find the resiprocal of the second # by switching the numerators and demoninators and then you multiply the #s. Peace!

A quantity that is divided by another quantity.

when multiplying, exponents with like bases add, therefore\nn+1+n-1 =2n and your answer is x^2n

Besause when you multiply two numbers you are actually performing an addition, for example:\n\n2(-2) or 2*-2 What this means is that you have to add -2 twice: (-2)+ (-2) which = -4\n\nwhen the multiplication is -2(2) you are to take away 2 two times (subtract): -(2)-(2) = -4

It means that you distribute (multiply) what is outside of the parentheses to each term within the parens..\n\nAre you finished with the little game you're playing, by the way?

Peasant multiplication is an old algorithm for multiplication. It requires no use of a multiplication table other than the ability to multiply by two; it also requires that the user be able to divide by 2, and to add.\n\nWrite the two numbers (A and B) you wish to multiply, each at the head of a column. \nStarting with A, divide by 2, discarding any fractions, until there is nothing left to divide. Write the series of results under A. \nStarting with B, keep doubling until you have doubled it as many times as you divided the first number. Write the series of results under B. \nAdd up all the numbers in the B-column that are next to an odd number in the A-column. This gives you the result. \nExample: 27 times 82\n\nA-column B-column Add this \n27 82 82 \n13 164 164 \n6 328  \n3 656 656 \n1 1312 1312 \nResult: 2214

When you double a number, you just multiply it by 2.\ny = 2x\nx is the original number and y is the number after it's been doubled.

Learning, in its most basic form, is just forming relationships between things you know and one or two new items to synthesize new information or a new process. For example, if you can add, you can multiply. 3+3+3+3 is the same as take 4 groups of 3 and add them together (4 x 3). If you can multiply, you can do exponents. 3x3x3x3 is the same thing as multiplying 3 by itself 4 times (3^4). If you can relate math to things you already know or experience daily, it will start to make sense. To get good at math means three things: Get good at the basics; Learn the special language; Learn the processes. After that it is just practice practice and practice. To really know it means you can relate it to new or different things.

With a calculator. If you're trying to do it in your head, then it depends on how your head works. For me I multiply parts of the numbers and add them. If I'm trying to do something like 15X22 I'll multiply 10X22 and add it to 5X22. For me it's easier to break it down into easier equations.

Egyptian multiplication (quite different from ours!)\n\nFractions (again treated somewhat differently than we do, since they only used fractions with 1 in the numerator)\n\nVarious short algebra and geometry questions (like "A quantity added to a quarter of that quantity become 15. What is the quantity?")

1...anything multiplied by 1 is itself...so in division anything divided by itself is 1

I prefer "long" multiplication but it doesn't line up as well...\n\n3x^2 + 7x - 6\n* _____x+12\n--------------------  Multiplying term by term\n_____36x^2 + 84X - 72\n3x^3 + 7x^2 - 6x\n--------------------------------  Add term by term\n3x^3 + 43x^2 + 78x - 72   <--  final answer

"Maths" is a contraction of "mathematics", a short way to say and write it.  It includes all branches of maths, e.g. arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statics, differential and integral calculus, quantum mechanics, etc. As you can see, arithmetic is a subset of mathematics.  Arithmetic deals with the manipulation of real numbers only.

i'm not exactly sure what you want to multiply, but the only thing related to sets and multiplication is cartesian product, which would be an array (ie ArrayList) of TreeSets - you would need a new class for cartesian product (as it's not a TreeSet). There you could easily add another TreeSet in array (as it needs to be ordered and TreeSet is not).\nother than that, cartesian product of two sets is a set with elements (a,b) where a is from first and b from second set. so your product would return TreeSet with elements of class ie Pair which has Object first and Object second as its properties. combine each of first set with each of second in class Pair and put them in your new TreeSet something like this:\n\nclass Pair {\nObject first;\nObject second;\n}\n\npublic static TreeSet product(TreeSet first, TreeSet second) {\nTreeSet rval = new TreeSet();\nwhile (i = first.next()) {\nwhile (j = second.next()) {\nPair tmp = new Pair();\ntmp.first = i;\ntmp.second = j;\nrval.put(tmp);\n}\n}\nreturn rval;\n}

Product means the number resulting from the multiplying of two or more numbers together, therefor the answer is 22 x 431 =9482
