I understand addition and subtraction and how civilization could utilize those (ex: I want 3 bananas, I am taking away 2 bananas, how many bananas are left, etc) but I’m struggling to find out why/how multiplication and division was discovered. TIA!

I don’t understand what makes multiplication and division that much more unique than addition and subtraction. You divide rows of land evenly between workers. You divide food. You can estimate crop yields by counting a row and multiplying it. It’s incredibly useful and probably existed long before writing.
