Internally Redirect URL without 302 status using htaccess – SEO

I am new to PHP. I created a website which creates a multiplication table from given input number.
Now I want that instead of submitting the input, a number multiplication table should be accessible through URL.
i.e. www.multiply.com/multiplication-of-13.php.

Creating a single page for every doesn’t seem like a feasible solution,
So I did it using the .htaccess file by changing the query parameter to URL.

Example :

RewriteEngine on 
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase / 
RewriteRule ^multiplication-of-([0-9]+).php$ index.php?num=$1 [R]

Now the problem is this configuration is generating 302 redirect, which is not suitable for SEO, and if I use [R=301] then the changes reflect in the URL, which does not seem user-friendly, Is there is any possible solution that the URL redirection doesn’t return HTTP Code 302?

    Take off the [R] after the URL. That means “redirect,” which is explicitly what you are asking not to happen.

    The [R] in your rewrite is causing it to generate a 302.

    RewriteRule ^multiplication-of-([0-9]+).php$ index.php?num=$1 [L, QSA]
