Scalar multiplication requires one vector and one scalar. Dot product requires two vectors. That's the basic difference.

Vectors are not just numbers like scalars that have only magnitude. Vectors have direction and magnitude, and multiplying two vectors or multiplying a vector by a real number would yield results as per rules of vector algebra.

The three different ways of vector multiplication are
- Scalar Multiplication - This is multiplying a vector with a scalar quantity. This operation results in another vector.
- Dot Product - This is an operation that tells us that two vectors gives a scalar as a result.
- Cross Product - This is an operation, when two vectors are multiplied, yields a vector that is perpendicular to both.
