what’s the physical meaning of mathematical operations?

Let’s say you have a division. You’ve got 3/2, where 3 might be acres and 2 might be brothers so from there you could deduce that the division just means that the 3 acres of land will be distributed between two brothers. Summation and multiplication are quite straight forward, but what the hell does one do with multiplication and exponentiation? If I got 20 N-m of torque, wtf does the multiplication tells me there? If something follows a square root?

Please feel free to add any other operations to these. Thanks!

multiplication simply is counting individuals in equal groups say i had 4 boxes each with 5 balls you would be adding 4 to 4 5 times. i’d say exponential would be the pattern the same except the boxes are in separate houses but you want to know how many balls there are but you know the balls and boxes are the same for however many houses you need
