Multiply

Usage: Multiply Number_1, Number_2

The Multiply command will multiply two numbers and will display the multiplication in row form.

The numbers being multiplied are called factors. The first factor is also referred to as the multiplicand and the second factor the multiplier. The result of the multiplication is called the product.

The individual products will be displayed for each digit in the lower (second) factor. These individual products are added so that their sum becomes the final product.

If a decimal point is used in a factor, the other factor will be rewritten to reflect the appropriate number of decimal places.

Examples:
Multiply 2, 5 returns a product of 10.
Multiply 2.2, 5.4 returns a product of 11.88.
