When two resistors are wired in series with a 12 V battery, the current through the battery is 0.30 A. When they are wired in parallel with the same battery, the current is 1.6 A. What are the values of the two resistors?

Note: I understand other people have asked the same concept with different numbers, and their questions have been answered, however I do not understand why you need to multiple R1 by R2 when the resistors are in parallel, and furthermore, why are you supposed to multiply the "in parallel" equation by (R1+R2; the in series resistors) to find R1*R2?
