Why can hydraulic car breaks be described as a force multiplier?

When you step on the brake pedal, a force is applied directly to a piston of area 'a'. The hydraulic fluid thus pressurized is directed to other pistons of area 'A' >'a' at each wheel which push the brake pads against the rotating disk attached to the wheel.
Since A>a, the applied force is multiplied by the ratio A/a.

What is the difference between a force multiplier and a speed multiplier?
A force multiplier increases the effort force and the mechanical advantage is larger than one (Which means it is easier to move a large load with a small effort). While the speed multiplier does not make the effort easier but makes the load move through a larger distance than the effort. The mechanical advantage of a speed multiplier is usually lower than 1.
