For every assortment (unique or otherwise) of numbers there is a unique number called the product. Any two numbers in such an assortment can be replaced with their product without effecting any change in the product of the assortment. Any number of ones can be added or removed with no change in the product. Assortments with products other than zero contain only numbers other than zero.
The word multiplication also is used to refer to reproduction.
We can do better than this, can't we? It doesn't even contain a definition of "multiplication."
