8x3

8x3 refers to a multiplication problem. It represents the operation of multiplying the number 8 by the number 3. The result of this operation is 24. This is a basic arithmetic calculation. In mathematics, "x" is commonly used as the symbol for multiplication. Therefore, 8x3 can also be written as 8 * 3 or 8 ⋅ 3. The number 8 is the multiplicand, and the number 3 is the multiplier. The product is the result of the multiplication, which is 24. This concept is fundamental in arithmetic and is taught early in mathematics education. It demonstrates the principle of repeated addition, where 8x3 is equivalent to adding 8 to itself 3 times (8 + 8 + 8) or adding 3 to itself 8 times (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3). Both methods yield the same answer of 24. This operation is a building block for more complex mathematical concepts.
