Definition of Multiplier
A multiplier is the number that does the multiplying in a multiplication sum.
The number that gets multiplied is called the "multiplicand".
However, these terms are confusing because you can perform a multiplication in any order you like. So, the term "factor" is more commonly used to refer to both the "multiplicand" and the "multiplier".
