Multiply three or four numbers

Key notes :

✨ Key Points:

• Multiplication is repeated addition.
  Example: 3×4=123 \times 4 = 123×4=12 means adding 3 four times.
• When multiplying three or more numbers, we multiply them step by step.
• Grouping does not change the answer (Associative Property).
  (a×b)×c=a×(b×c)(a \times b) \times c = a \times (b \times c)(a×b)×c=a×(b×c)
• Multiply numbers two at a time until all numbers are multiplied.

🔢 Steps to Multiply Three Numbers:

• Multiply the first two numbers.
• Multiply the result with the third number.

Example:
2×3×42 \times 3 \times 42×3×4
Step 1: 2×3=62 \times 3 = 62×3=6
Step 2: 6×4=246 \times 4 = 246×4=24
✅ Answer = 24

🔢 Steps to Multiply Four Numbers:

• Multiply the first two numbers.
• Multiply the next two numbers.
• Multiply both results together.

Example:
2×5×3×42 \times 5 \times 3 \times 42×5×3×4
Step 1: 2×5=102 \times 5 = 102×5=10
Step 2: 3×4=123 \times 4 = 123×4=12
Step 3: 10×12=12010 \times 12 = 12010×12=120
✅ Answer = 120

🧮 More Examples:

• 3×6×2=(3×6)×2=18×2=363 \times 6 \times 2 = (3 \times 6) \times 2 = 18 \times 2 = 363×6×2=(3×6)×2=18×2=36
• 4×2×5×3=(4×2)×(5×3)=8×15=1204 \times 2 \times 5 \times 3 = (4 \times 2) \times (5 \times 3) = 8 \times 15 = 1204×2×5×3=(4×2)×(5×3)=8×15=120
