Multiply
What It Does
The Multiply node performs multiplication between two numbers. It's one of the fundamental math operations, useful for scaling values, calculating areas, and applying coefficients.
Inputs
| Name | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | The first number in the multiplication | Number | Yes |
| B | The second number in the multiplication | Number | Yes |
Outputs
| Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Value | The product of A × B | Number |
How to Use It
- Drag the Multiply node into your graph.
- Connect your first number to the "A" input.
- Connect your second number to the "B" input.
- The output will be the product of the two numbers.
Tips
- Multiplication is commutative, so the order of A and B doesn't matter.
- To scale a value by a percentage, multiply by the percentage divided by 100.
- Multiplying by 0 always gives 0, and multiplying by 1 leaves the value unchanged.

- Divide: For the inverse operation of multiplication.
Use Cases
- Scaling: Adjust the size or intensity of values by a factor.
- Area Calculations: Calculate areas by multiplying width and height.
- Percentage Adjustments: Apply percentage-based modifications to values.
