When you add, the end result is a sum. The process of addition can also be called summation. If this is the case, why doesn’t anyone call the process of multiplication production? It would also open up to some good jokes…FACTORies do PRODUCTION

    No. Everywhere uses the same terms, you just didn’t understand the question.

    The result of addition is the sum. The sum is calculated by summation of inputs.

    The result of multiplication is the product. The product is calculated by __________ of inputs.

    OP’s question is: why can’t the blank be “production”, by analogy with “summation”?
