Mean - Wikipedia
September 29, 2025 - These means were studied with proportions by Pythagoreans and later generations of Greek mathematicians because of their importance in geometry and music. The arithmetic mean (or simply mean or average) of a list of numbers, is the sum of all of the numbers divided by their count.

How to Calculate the Mean Value
It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

July 24, 2025 - Multiplication is an arithmetic operation that involves two or more numbers to produce a third number called the product. The numbers that are multiplied are called the factors. It is a fundamental operation in mathematics, often described as repetitive addition. This means multiplication allows us to perform addition multiple times in a more efficient way.

Multiplication is not repeated addition In most curricula, multiplication is introduced as repeated addition, or adding like groups. Multiplication can be used as a โshortcutโ for repeated addition โ just as it can be used for solving many other problems โ but thatโs not what it is. For one thing, as soon as students move beyond counting numbers, the repeated-addition idea no longer works. (What does it mean to โaddโ something two-thirds of a time, or even to โaddโ it zero times?!)

1 week ago - Multiplication is one of the four elementary mathematical operations of arithmetic, with the other ones being addition, subtraction, and division. The result of a multiplication operation is called a product. Multiplication is often denoted by the cross symbol, ร, by the mid-line dot operator, โ

r/learnmath on Reddit: What do we really mean by multiplication?
February 27, 2022 -
We studies that multiplication means repeated addition of similar quantities. But when we take that ideology to physics, it doesn't feel right. For example, F = ma, what does this even mean? Are we adding the mass, acceleration times or vice-versa? What does this even signify?
Sorry if this question is a bit related to physics and kind of philosophical but I'm very curious about it. I want to understand this to the very core.

I like to think of them as proportional linear systems. :) Let me deconstruct that. If I take an object and apply a force F to it, I find that it accelerates by a value a. If I change the force F, I find that a changes in proportion. So F in proportional to a or F=ka (for a system with fixed mass) If I change the mass of my object, I find the same: as I change the mass of the object I need to change the force I apply linearly to get the same acceleration. So F=kma. If we choose our units appropriately, we can get rid of the constant and F=ma. Not sure if it is what you were looking for, or if it will help any, but I hope it will.

"Multiplication is repeated addition" is one of the most harmful things we are taught in elementary mathematics. It works only with whole numbers, and leads to misconceptions like "multiplication makes things bigger", and confusion when it comes to multiplying things that aren't whole numbers. And as you mention, if we have units involved, repeated addition makes no sense (what does it mean to add m/s2 a kg number of times?) Multiplication is about scaling. Multiplication by 2 makes things twice as big. Multiplication by 0.5 makes things half as big. If you're multiplying by a whole number, this coincides with repeated addition. So something like F = ma means that if you double the mass, you double the force. If you halve the mass, you halve the force. And so on.

4.3 Does "and" mean multiply? | G'Day Math
The multiplication principle stated in the previous lesson relies on actions being independent, that the outcome of one action can in no way affect the outcome of the other action. Yet we often teach students to use this principle any time the word โandโ appears in a probability problem, even if the events involved are NOT independent. I often hear the aphorism โAnd means multiplyโ bandied about in a care-free manner.
