In JavaScript, there are several ways to multiply two or more numbers.
The most basic way to multiply numbers is to use the * operator. This operator takes two operands (the values being operated on) and returns the product of the two operands. For example:
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let x = 5; let y = 10; let result = x * y; console.log(result); // Output: 50
[/dm_code_snippet]
You can also use the Math.multiply() function, which is part of the JavaScript Math object. This function takes two arguments and returns the product of the two numbers. Here’s an example:
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let x = 5; let y = 10; let result = Math.multiply(x, y); console.log(result); // Output: 50

In addition to the * operator and the Math.multiply() function, you can also use the reduce() method to multiply a series of numbers. The reduce() method iterates through an array of numbers and applies a given function to reduce the array to a single value. In this case, the function will multiply the numbers in the array. Here’s an example:
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let numbers = [5, 10, 15, 20]; let result = numbers.reduce((a, b) => a * b); console.log(result); // Output: 3000

You can use any of these methods to multiply any two or more numbers, whether they are integers, floating-point numbers, or even negative numbers.
In addition to the methods I mentioned earlier, there are a few other ways you can multiply numbers in JavaScript.
One way is to use the *= operator, which is a compound assignment operator that multiplies a variable by a given value and assigns the result to the variable. For example:
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let x = 5; x *= 10; console.log(x); // Output: 50

Another way to multiply numbers is to use the BigInt type, which is a new type introduced in JavaScript that allows you to represent integers of arbitrary length. To use BigInt, you can simply append n to the end of a number literal or use the BigInt() function to convert a regular number to a BigInt. Here’s an example:
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let x = 5n; let y = 10n; let result = x * y; console.log(result); // Output: 50n
[/dm_code_snippet]
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let x = 5; let y = 10; let result = BigInt(x) * BigInt(y); console.log(result); // Output: 50n
