1. What is Multiplication?

Multiplication is one of the four elementary mathematical operations of arithmetic, with the others being addition, subtraction and division. The multiplication of two numbers is equivalent to adding as many copies of one of them, the multiplicand, as the value of the other one, the multiplier.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the multiplication formula:

Where:

• \( a \) — First number (multiplicand)
• \( b \) — Second number (multiplier)
• \( c \) — Result (product)

Explanation: The calculator multiplies the two input numbers to produce their product.

3. Importance of Multiplication

Details: Multiplication is fundamental in mathematics and daily life, used in areas ranging from basic arithmetic to advanced scientific calculations, financial computations, and engineering applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter two positive numbers in the input fields. The calculator will automatically compute and display their product when you click the Calculate button.
