What are some ways to perform multiplication on a list of integers using loops in Python?

If you mean multiplying all the list items by some common factor, list comprehension is quick and clean. It has the same for loop implication

li = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 
 
print([2*i for i in li]) 
 
#OUTPUT 
[2, 4, 6, 8, 10] 
If you rather mean multipling all the items together to get a product, you can still use a for loop such as

li = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 
 
total = 1 
 
for i in li: 
        total = total * i 
 
print(total) 
 
#OUTPUT 
120
