  2. Multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

    Note also how multiplication by zero causes a reduction in dimensionality, as does multiplication by a singular matrix where the determinant is 0. In this process, information is lost and cannot be regained. For real and complex numbers, which includes, for example, natural numbers, integers, and fractions, multiplication has certain properties:

  3. Commutative property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative_property

    The Egyptians used the commutative property of multiplication to simplify computing products. [7] [8] Euclid is known to have assumed the commutative property of multiplication in his book Elements. [9] Formal uses of the commutative property arose in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when mathematicians began to work on a theory of ...

  4. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    Sometimes multiplication and division are given equal precedence, or sometimes multiplication is given higher precedence than division; see § Mixed division and multiplication below. If each subtraction is replaced with addition of the opposite (additive inverse), then the associative and commutative laws of addition allow terms to be added in ...

  5. Product (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication, or an expression that identifies objects (numbers or variables) to be multiplied, called factors.For example, 21 is the product of 3 and 7 (the result of multiplication), and (+) is the product of and (+) (indicating that the two factors should be multiplied together).

  6. Distributive property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributive_property

    In approximate arithmetic, such as floating-point arithmetic, the distributive property of multiplication (and division) over addition may fail because of the limitations of arithmetic precision. For example, the identity 1 / 3 + 1 / 3 + 1 / 3 = ( 1 + 1 + 1 ) / 3 {\displaystyle 1/3+1/3+1/3=(1+1+1)/3} fails in decimal arithmetic , regardless of ...

  7. Field (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mathematics)

    Informally, a field is a set, along with two operations defined on that set: an addition operation written as a + b, and a multiplication operation written as a ⋅ b, both of which behave similarly as they behave for rational numbers and real numbers, including the existence of an additive inverse −a for all elements a, and of a multiplicative inverse b −1 for every nonzero element b.

  8. Ring (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, rings are algebraic structures that generalize fields: multiplication need not be commutative and multiplicative inverses need not exist. Informally, a ring is a set equipped with two binary operations satisfying properties analogous to those of addition and multiplication of integers.

  9. Closure (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(mathematics)

    For example, a group is a set with an associative operation, often called multiplication, with an identity element, such that every element has an inverse element. Here, the auxiliary operations are the nullary operation that results in the identity element and the unary operation of inversion. A subset of a group that is closed under ...
