title: Multiply Two Numbers with JavaScript
---
JavaScript uses use the `*` symbol for multiplication.

Here is an example:

    var product = 8 * 10;
    
the 'product' would have the value '80' after this line.

When making calculations it is possible to use parentheses to prioritise which numbers should be multiplied together.
