The answer is Negative!. A computer per-se has no clue what a multiplication or a division is.

Since this two operations rely on subsequent use of two simpler arithmetic operations (addition and substraction), a component called the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is in charge of performing more complex operations.

If you think about it, one can reduce every single mathematical operation to just additions and substractions, hence, in order to multiply, the computer will simply make the corresponding additions very quick (which is exactly what a multiplication is).

Just for you to know, the base 10 numbers you give as inputs are converted to binary representations. All arithmetic operations are performed on a base 2 system before being reconverted back to base 10 so humans undertsand it.

Why do multiplication signs and addition sign go together?

The simple answer is that they are two of the basic algebraic functions (along with exponentiation). Division and subtraction are just the opposites of these so are different. Multiplication and addition are also similar because repeated addition is the same as multiplication (and repeated multiplication is exponentiation). The full answer is part of what is known as Algebraic Fields and shows how these functions relate to each other and to different systems of number. basically he said cuz they both increase the original value while division and subtraction decrease it

What are the key concepts and applications of process-calculus in computer science?

Process calculus is a mathematical framework used in computer science to model and analyze the behavior of concurrent systems. It involves defining processes, communication channels, and interactions between processes. Key concepts include process composition, synchronization, and communication. Applications of process calculus in computer science include modeling and analyzing distributed systems, concurrent programming, and formal verification of software systems.
