Multiplication
(gcide) | Multiplication \Mul`ti*pli*ca"tion\, n. [L. multiplicatio: cf.
F. multiplication. See Multiply.]
1. The act or process of multiplying, or of increasing in
number; the state of being multiplied; as, the
multiplication of the human species by natural generation.
[1913 Webster]
The increase and multiplication of the world.
--Thackeray.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Math.) The process of repeating, or adding to itself, any
given number or quantity a certain number of times;
commonly, the process of ascertaining by a briefer
computation the result of such repeated additions; also,
the rule by which the operation is performed; -- the
reverse of division.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The word multiplication is sometimes used in
mathematics, particularly in multiple algebra, to
denote any distributive operation expressed by one
symbol upon any quantity or any thing expressed by
another symbol. Corresponding extensions of meaning are
given to the words multiply, multiplier, multiplicand,
and product. Thus, since [phi](x + y) = [phi]x + [phi]y
(see under Distributive), where [phi](x + y), [phi]x,
and [phi]y indicate the results of any distributive
operation represented by the symbol [phi] upon x + y,
x, and y, severally, then because of many very useful
analogies [phi](x + y) is called the product of [phi]
and x + y, and the operation indicated by [phi] is
called multiplication. Cf. Facient, n., 2.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Bot.) An increase above the normal number of parts,
especially of petals; augmentation.
[1913 Webster]
4. The art of increasing gold or silver by magic, --
attributed formerly to the alchemists. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]
Multiplication table, a table giving the product of a set
of numbers multiplied in some regular way; commonly, a
table giving the products of the first ten or twelve
numbers multiplied successively by 1, 2, 3, etc., up to 10
or 12. Called also a times table, used by students in
elementary school prior to memorization of the table.
[1913 Webster] |
multiplication
(wn) | multiplication
n 1: the act of producing offspring or multiplying by such
production [syn: generation, multiplication,
propagation]
2: a multiplicative increase; "repeated copying leads to a
multiplication of errors"; "this multiplication of cells is a
natural correlate of growth"
3: an arithmetic operation that is the inverse of division; the
product of two numbers is computed; "the multiplication of
four by three gives twelve"; "four times three equals twelve"

Endogenous multiplication
(gcide) | Endogenous \En*dog"e*nous\, a.
1. (Bot.) Increasing by internal growth and elongation at the
summit, instead of externally, and having no distinction
of pith, wood, and bark, as the rattan, the palm, the
cornstalk.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Biol.) Originating from within; increasing by internal
growth.
[1913 Webster]
Endogenous multiplication (Biol.), a method of cell
formation, seen in cells having a cell wall. The nucleus
and protoplasm divide into two distinct masses; these in
turn become divided and subdivided, each division becoming
a new cell, until finally the original cell wall is
ruptured and the new cells are liberated (see
Segmentation, and Illust. of Cell Division, under
Division). This mode of growth is characteristic of many
forms of cells, both animal and vegetable.
