Multiplication |
|
Today I saw a cool video on yahoo that lets a person multiply up to 99*99 easily. They did 73*24 in the video.
For example, let's say we want to multiply 89*67:
 |
 |
A. Draw the Squares:
___________
| | |
| / | / |
|_____|_____|
| | |
| / | / |
|_____|_____|
B. Place the Numbers:
8 9
___________
| | |
| / | / | 6
|_____|_____|
| | |
| / | / | 7
|_____|_____|
C. First Square = 8 times 6 is 48 or 4/8:
8 9
___________
|4 | |
| / | / | 6
|____8|_____|
| | |
| / | / | 7
|_____|_____|
D. Second Square = 9 times 6 is 54 or 5/4:
8 9
___________
|4 |5 |
| / | / | 6
|____8|____4|
| | |
| / | / | 7
|_____|_____|
E. Third Square = 8 times 7 is 56 or 5/6:
8 9
___________
|4 |5 |
| / | / | 6
|____8|____4|
|5 | |
| / | / | 7
|____6|_____|
F. Fourth Square = 9 times 7 is 63 or 6/3:
8 9
___________
|4 |5 |
| / | / | 6
|____8|____4|
|5 |6 |
| / | / | 7
|____6|____3|
G. Get Fourth Digit from bottom right = 3 so we write 3:
8 9
___________
|4 |5 |
| / | / | 6
|____8|____4|
|5 |6 |
| / | / | 7
|____6|____3|
3
H. Get Third Digit from second to bottom = 6+6+4 or 16 so we write the 6 and carry the 1:
8 9
___________
|4 |5 |
| / | / | 6
|____8|____4|
|5 |6 |
| / | / | 7
|____6|____3|
6 3
I. Get Second Digit from second to top = 1+5+8+5 or 19 so we write the 9 and carry the 1:
8 9
___________
|4 |5 |
| / | / | 6
|____8|____4|
|5 |6 |
9 | / | / | 7
|____6|____3|
6 3
J. Get First Digit from top = 1+4 so we write 5:
8 9
___________
|4 |5 |
5 | / | / | 6
|____8|____4|
|5 |6 |
9 | / | / | 7
|____6|____3|
6 3
K. Four Digits are 5963 which is the answer.

It is so much easier to do this in the head , all you have to know is the times table from 0*0 to 9*9 and keep track of some some numbers.
89*67
9*7=63
9*6(*10)=540
8(*10)*7=560
8(*10)*6(*10)=4800
63+540+560+4800=5963
And I agree with SleepWalkers, is this a smart and quick way or just fun
