Here’s a C program to multiply two numbers along with a detailed explanation:

#include <stdio.h> // Include standard input-output header file

int main() {

int num1, num2, product; // Declare variables to store two numbers and their product

// Prompt the user for input

printf("Enter the first number: ");

scanf("%d", &num1); // Read the first number from the user

printf("Enter the second number: ");

scanf("%d", &num2); // Read the second number from the user

// Perform multiplication

product = num1 * num2;

// Display the result

printf("The product of %d and %d is %d\n", num1, num2, product);

return 0; // Indicate that the program ended successfully

Explanation of the Program:

1. Header File:

o #include <stdio.h>: Required for scanf and printf functions to handle input and
output.

2. Variable Declaration:

o int num1, num2, product;: Declares three integer variables. num1 and num2 will
store user inputs, and product will store the result of their multiplication.

3. Input:

o printf("Enter the first number: ");: Prompts the user to input the first number.

o scanf("%d", &num1);: Reads the integer input from the user and stores it in num1.

o Similarly, the second number is read and stored in num2.


4. Multiplication:

o product = num1 * num2;: The values of num1 and num2 are multiplied and stored in
the variable product.

5. Output:

o printf("The product of %d and %d is %d\n", num1, num2, product);: Displays the


multiplication result. The %d format specifier is used for integers.

6. Return Statement:

o return 0;: Indicates successful execution of the program.

Sample Output:

Enter the first number: 7

Enter the second number: 8

The product of 7 and 8 is 56

You can compile and run this program using any C compiler:

• Compile: gcc multiply_numbers.c -o multiply_numbers

• Run: ./multiply_numbers
