Yes, it’s a binary operation. 2. Multiplication is an abbreviation for repeated addition of a number to itself. 3. Multiplication is associative, that is, for all n, m, k ∈ N we have that (n · m) · k = n · (m · k). 4. Multiplication is commutative, that is, for all n, m ∈ N we have that n · m = m · n. 5. The number 1 is a neutral element or identity element with respect to multiplication, that is, for all n ∈ N we have that n · 1 = 1 · n = n. 6. Multiplication is right distributive over addition. That is, for all n, m, k ∈ N we have (n + m) · k = n · k + m · k.
