What does × mean?

El signo de multiplicación tipográfico ×, introducido en 1631 por William Oughtred, se distingue netamente de la letra x del alfabeto latino por su perfecta simetría diagonal y proporciones matemáticas. Es el operador estándar para multiplicaciones aritméticas, producto cartesiano de conjuntos y producto vectorial en física.

Asimismo, es la convención internacional para especificar medidas y dimensiones espaciales, como resoluciones de pantalla (1920 × 1080) o superficies arquitectónicas (4 × 5 metros), además de aumentos de lentes de aumento (10×). Combínalo con el símbolo de división, el símbolo de grado o la lista de símbolos matemáticos.
