Calculate six times -10 quickly

To find six times -10, begin with the value -10, which stands for any number you choose. Multiplying by six means you are adding the number -10 six times in total. Rather than performing six additions, multiplication allows you to perform this calculation in a single step by multiplying -10 by 6. The formula (-10 * 6) directly expresses this idea. By multiplying -10 by 6, you quickly obtain the product that represents six times the original number. For instance, if -10 is zero, multiplying zero by six returns zero because any number multiplied by zero equals zero. This method applies to all values represented by -10, and the result is given by -60.
