   The oldest known multiplication tables were used by the Babylonians about 4000 years ago. [2] However, they used a base of 60. [ 2 ] The oldest known tables using a base of 10 are the Chinese decimal multiplication table on bamboo strips dating to about 305 BC, during China's Warring States period.

   For example, 9 + 2 = 11 with 1 + 1 = 2. When adding 9 to itself, we would thus expect the sum of the digits to be 9 as follows: 9 + 9 = 18, (1 + 8 = 9) and 9 + 9 + 9 = 27, (2 + 7 = 9). Let us look at a simple multiplication: 5 × 7 = 35, (3 + 5 = 8). Now consider (7 + 9) × 5 = 16 × 5 = 80, (8 + 0 = 8) or 7 × (9 + 5) = 7 × 14 = 98, (9 + 8 ...

   Four bags with three marbles per bag gives twelve marbles (4 × 3 = 12). Multiplication can also be thought of as scaling. Here, 2 is being multiplied by 3 using scaling, giving 6 as a result. Animation for the multiplication 2 × 3 = 6 4 × 5 = 20. The large rectangle is made up of 20 squares, each 1 unit by 1 unit.

   For 8-bit integers the table of quarter squares will have 2 9 −1=511 entries (one entry for the full range 0..510 of possible sums, the differences using only the first 256 entries in range 0..255) or 2 9 −1=511 entries (using for negative differences the technique of 2-complements and 9-bit masking, which avoids testing the sign of ...

   The symbols for elementary-level math operations. From top-left going clockwise: addition, division, multiplication, and subtraction. Elementary arithmetic is a branch of mathematics involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

7. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9. When exponents were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, they were given precedence over both addition and multiplication and placed as a superscript to the right of ...
