WHAT DOES TIMES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

times

Multiplication

Multiplication is the third basic mathematical operation of arithmetic, the others being addition, subtraction and division. The multiplication of two whole numbers is equivalent to the addition of one of them with itself as many times as the value of the other one; for example, 3 multiplied by 4 can be calculated by adding 4 copies of 3 together: Here 3 and 4 are the "factors" and 12 is the "product". One of the main properties of multiplication is that the result does not depend on the place of the factor that is repeatedly added to itself. 3 multiplied by 4 can also be calculated by adding 3 copies of 4 together: The multiplication of integers, rational numbers and real numbers is defined by a systematic generalization of this basic definition. Multiplication can also be visualized as counting objects arranged in a rectangle or as finding the area of a rectangle whose sides have given lengths. The area of a rectangle does not depend on which side is measured first, which illustrates the commutative property. In general, multiplying two measurements gives a new type, depending on the measurements.

Ice Cube
I believe how you measure a good movie is how many times you can see it. With comedies, I like to be a producer, because comedies can get corny and go off track real fast. I'm always the 'less is more' guy when it comes to a scene. So I'ma be the one who will keep it grounded.

Ice Cube
For me rappers and dancers are poets and artists and often times the most interesting performances are given by them.
8
Michael Cudlitz
A lot of times, actors give so much power to the producers and the producing companies because, quite frankly, they have it. But we don't take the limited power that we have, which the power you initially have is to say 'no.' But 'no' in a positive way.
9
George Cukor
Give me a good script, and I'll be a hundred times better as a director.
10
Billy Eckstine
You know, times change and the elements change along with it. The elements of success. And my son's very successful. He's doing very well. And I have a younger daughter who sings.
