Addition is we all know is the mathematical operation in which we sum up the values of each element or term in the operation to come up with the answer called sum. As shown below,
6 + 6 = 12
For multiplication, we count how many of each of the element is common and how many times are they added to themselves. The answer is then called the product. In the example above, we have 2 sixes and that can be expressed into,
6(2) = 12
The multiplication operation is a way to shorten the repetitive addition operation.
