This block is part of the [`math`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/math) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

Multiplication operator produces the product of the operands.

- number_0 required `number`

- number_1 required `number`

- Number `number`

A typical wiring for [x](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/math/number_times): [number](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/number/number_default) feeds the `number_0` pin; [one hour](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/number/number_one_hour) feeds the `number_1` pin; the `number` out pin feeds [on api file upload](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/http%20connection/on_startup_register_uri_file).

### Commonly used with

In production blueprints, this block is most often wired together with:

- [number](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/number/number_default): feeds into this block. Generates a valid number from the filled custom value in the blueprint.

- [on api file upload](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/http%20connection/on_startup_register_uri_file): this block feeds into it. Exposes URI on /api/. Accepts a multipart/form-data POST request and saves the attached file. Supports its own rate limit and lock (serialisation) through the pins below.

- [set](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/redis/function_redis_cache_set_key): this block feeds into it. Set key to hold the string value. If key already holds a value, it is overwritten, regardless of its type.

- [point in radius](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/condition/condition_geo_is_point_in_circle): this block feeds into it. Check to see if an given geo-point is in the circle.

- [get fields](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/object/object_field_getter_multiple): feeds into this block. Gets the selected fields from the given object.

- [one hour](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/number/number_one_hour): feeds into this block. Returns one hour in seconds as a number.
