The multiplication sign (× ), also known as the times sign or the dimension sign , is a mathematical symbol used to denote the operation of multiplication, which results in a product.
The symbol is also used in botany, in botanical hybrid names and the heavy goods vehicle industry, to calculate the amount of powered wheels.
The form is properly a four-fold rotationally symmetric saltire. The multiplication sign × is similar to a lowercase X (x ) which is not a four-fold rotationally symmetric saltire.
