To find the product of 5 multiplied by 7, we can use repeated addition or basic multiplication:
Understand what multiplication means.
Multiplication is a shorthand way of adding the same number multiple times. In this case, we are adding the number 5, seven times.
Set up the addition.
You can think of 5 times 7 as:
5+5+5+5+5+5+5
Add the numbers together.
Now, let’s add them up step by step:
5+5=10
15+5=20
20+5=25
30+5=35
Conclusion.
So, when you add 5 seven times, the result is 35. Therefore, 5×7=355 \times 7 = 35.
This shows how multiplication works as repeated addition.
