Multiplicación es una operación matemática que se puede representar como una suma de términos idénticos.
Principio general de la multiplicación
Por ejemplo, la directriz un ⋅ segundo (leído como “a por b”) significa que sumamos los términos a, cuyo número es igual a b. El resultado de una multiplicación se llama producto.
ejemplos:
- 2 ⋅ 6 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12
(seis veces dos)
- 5 ⋅ 4 = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
(cuatro veces cinco)
- 3 ⋅ 8 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 24
(ocho veces tres)
Como sabemos, por la permutación de los lugares de los factores, el producto no cambia. Para los ejemplos anteriores, resulta:
- 6 ⋅ 2 = 6 + 6 = 12
(dos por seis)
- 4 ⋅ 5 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20
(cinco veces cuatro)
- 8 ⋅ 3 = 8 + 8 + 8 = 24
(tres veces ocho)
Beneficios practicos
Gracias a la multiplicación, puede reducir significativamente el recuento del número total de artículos del mismo tipo, etc. Por ejemplo, si tenemos 7 paquetes, cada uno de los cuales contiene 5 bolígrafos, entonces el número total de bolígrafos se encuentra multiplicando estos dos números:
5 ⋅ 7 = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 35
(cinco bolígrafos siete veces)
Multiplicar por 0
El resultado es siempre cero.
