Calculating seven times -10

To calculate seven times -10, start with the number -10 and multiply it by 7. This multiplication is the same as adding -10 seven times, which can be expressed as -10 + -10 + -10 + -10 + -10 + -10 + -10. Using multiplication simplifies this repeated addition to the expression (-10 * 7), which gives the product -70. The value of -70 depends on what -10 represents. For example, if -10 is zero, multiplying by seven still results in zero because zero added any number of times is zero. When you replace -10 in the expression (-10 * 7) with its actual value, you obtain -70, demonstrating how multiplication scales the original number by a factor of seven.
