shumëzime

Shumëzime is a term used in Albanian to refer to multiplication. It is one of the four basic arithmetic operations, alongside addition, subtraction, and division. Multiplication can be understood as repeated addition. For example, 3 multiplied by 4 (written as 3 x 4) means adding 3 to itself 4 times, which results in 12.

The numbers involved in a multiplication are called factors, and the result is called the product. The commutative property of multiplication states that the order of the factors does not change the product (e.g., 3 x 4 = 4 x 3). The associative property states that when multiplying three or more numbers, the grouping of the numbers does not change the product (e.g., (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4)). The distributive property relates multiplication to addition and subtraction, stating that multiplying a sum or difference by a number is the same as multiplying each term individually by that number and then adding or subtracting the results (e.g., 2 x (3 + 4) = (2 x 3) + (2 x 4)).

Multiplication is a fundamental concept used in various mathematical fields and real-world applications, from calculating areas and volumes to complex financial analysis and scientific research. Understanding and mastering the principles of shumëzime is crucial for further mathematical learning.
