Multiple build.gradle files in Android Studio

I'm just getting use to Gradle and Android Studio. I notice that Android Studio projects can have multiple build.gradle files. There is one located in the project's root folder and there's a second one located in the project's app folder. Can someone explain what the purpose of having these two are? When I do a build in AS, are both used or just one of them (and if only one of them, which one)?

If your project contains multiple modules, you may use the root (project-level) build.gradle file to keep configuration common to all modules. E.g. you may put common dependencies there.

Default top-level build.gradle for Android Studio has "allprojects" block in the top-level build.gradle that adds "jcenter" repository to every module.
