multiplication
Repeated addition shortcut
Multiplication is the mathematical operation of combining quantities by repeated addition: three times four means adding three fours together.
The notation uses × or · between numbers, or simple juxtaposition in algebra.
Beyond arithmetic, multiplication describes any rapid increase: the multiplication of cells, the multiplication of problems.
The verb is multiply.
