Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -To do this task, use the * (asterisk) arithmetic operator. For example, if you type =5*10 in a cell, the cell displays the result, 50.
Detailed explanation-2: -Operators are symbols that perform operations on variables and values. For example, + is an operator used for addition, while * is also an operator used for multiplication.
Detailed explanation-3: -Presumably, the asterisk was chosen-presumably because it was the non-alphanumeric symbol that most-closely resembled the customary symbol that denoted multiplication, whereas the letter X could not be used, since FORTRAN used letters of the alphabet for symbolic variable names of variables and unknowns.
