We know that addition is an increasing quantity and subtraction is an inverse of addition that is decreasing quantity, but what about multiplication?
Remember that multiplication is a continuous addition.
We received 8 in answer by continues addition of 2 by 4 times.
That is 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8.
Therefore now you understood that multiplication is nothing but a continuous addition.
Now we will how to multiply the number using a number line.
Multiplication on number line:
Now let's see the multiplication of any two whole number on a number line.
Assume that we have to find .

We can find this using the following steps:
1. We should start from 0, then move 3 units at a time to the right side of the number line.
2. Then make such 4 moves, because the multiplier is 4 then we will reach 12.
Therefore we get 3 × 4 = 12.
Applying this method, we can easily find the value of the multiplication of two number.
