When multiplying two or more numbers, what is the result called?

  1. Sum

  2. Difference

  3. Product

  4. Quotient

The correct answer is: Product

When multiplying two or more numbers, the result is termed the product. This terminology is fundamental in mathematics; it specifically denotes the outcome of a multiplication operation. For example, if you multiply 3 by 4, the product is 12. In contrast, the word "sum" refers to the result of adding numbers together. "Difference" indicates the result of subtracting one number from another. "Quotient" is the term used for the result of dividing one number by another. Each of these terms has a unique meaning that distinguishes it from multiplication, making "product" the correct term to describe the result of a multiplication operation.
