...idea which we have given of multiplication, we see that we could perform this operation by writing the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier, and afterward performing the addition. For instance, to multiply 7 by 3, we could write 7 + 7 + 7, and... | |

We have seen that multiplying by a whole number is taking the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier.
