When you multiply 8 by 7, the result is 56. In this multiplication, 8 is known as the multiplier, and 7 is the multiplicand. Multiplication is a mathematical operation that combines groups of numbers to find the total quantity.

You can also think of this multiplication as adding 8 seven times or adding 7 eight times. This is known as repeated addition. For example:
