6                    Multiplication







            Looking Back


            Multiplication is repeated addition.

            It is a fast way of adding a series of numbers.


            If we add 5 four times, we get 20 as sum.


                                             5   +   5   +   5   +   5   =  20



            A quicker way to find the sum, we multiply 4 by 5.


                                                          4 × 5 = 20


            Look at the following.

























                                     3 + 3 + 3 +3 = 4 times 3 = 3 × 4 = 12
















                                  4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 5 times 4 = 4 × 5 = 20
