Multiplying by 2
Multiplication is a math process used to add a number to itself a certain number of times. For example, if you multiply 2 by 2, you get 4. Multiplication is a shortcut for addition when you need to add the same number multiple times. For example, 3 x 2 is the same as adding 2 + 2 + 2. Multiplication can also be used to quickly find the product of two numbers. For example, 3 x 4 = 12, which is the same as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12.
