multiplicand
/ˌmʌltɪplɪˈkand//ˈmʌltɪplɪˌkand/
noun
A quantity which is to be multiplied by another (the multiplier).
Origin
Late 16th century: from medieval Latin multiplicandus ‘to be multiplied’, gerundive of Latin multiplicare (see multiply).
==========
Honestly, I have trouble telling the multiplicand and multiplier apart, especially considering that pesky commutative property, you know.
@Algot Don't worry yourself too much on telling which is the multiplicand -- it varies across languages apparently. :)
