Multiplication is a mathematical operation that represents the repeated addition of a number. For example, 4 x 3 means adding 4 three times (4 + 4 + 4 = 12).

The product is the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. For example, in 5 x 6 = 30, 30 is the product.

To multiply a decimal by a whole number, multiply as if there were no decimal, then place the decimal point in the product based on the number of decimal places in the decimal.

The associative property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).

The commutative property states that changing the order of the numbers in multiplication does not change the product. For example, 4 x 5 = 5 x 4.
