The result of a multiplication is the ''[[product]]''. The numbers which are multiplied together are called ''[[factor]]s''.
The result of a multiplication is the ''[[product]]''. The numbers which are multiplied together are called ''[[factor]]s''.
Multiplication is a [[commutative]] operation in that A <big><math>\times</math></big> B = B <big><math>\times</math></big> A.
Multiplication and addition are the only two mathmatical functions that yield the same result, regardless of placement of numbers.
:For example <big><math>3\times 2 = 2\times 3</math></big>.
:For example <big><math>3\times 2 = 2\times 3</math></big>.
They are both therefore called "[[commutative]]" operations
