The Number multiplied i5 called the Mulripli
cand; the Number multiplyins, the Multipli-
cator; and char wrhich is found or produced, 15
called the Product.
Multiplication is cnly a Compendious Addition,
efectino at once that in the ordinary way ol
Addition vould require mans Opcrations: FOr
the Mulciplicand is onty added to it selF, Or re-
Peated, 25 ost asthe Vnites oE che Multiplicator do
exprels. Thus il 6 vere to be mulciplied bY 4,
che Product 15 24, wrhich is che Sum arisins trom
the Addition oF 6 Fourtimes to ir selF.
In al Multiplication, 25 + is co che Mulripli-
cator, (0 is the Multiplicend er he Product.
Whence ris plain, chac in mulciplication OF In
terers, che Product must be grearer chan cirher
ot the Factors, (For (0 che Multiplicator and
Mulciplicand arc called, because between them
ther make up the Product) because cirher Pactor
is greater chan Znicy. Buc in multiplication ot
Fractions, the Produet must be lels in Value rhan
cither ot che Factors, because they are boch lels
chan 2nity. Thus 24, che Product oF 6, mul-
ciplied by 4, is greater chan cithet 6 OF 4; BUE
 che Produet oE mulciplied by 5, is dess in
Value chan cicher = OF 5.
