The way Chinese Multiply, really amazing

[TomKaren1994]

OK. Now try 79845 x 56977.

[911BlackRose]

i looked at this video, for about 10 seconds and thought 'nope, im too stupid'

:P

[Hero768]

@Spacehorse99 its jus way followed in ancient days...

[chosop25]

@Spacehorse99  Really? Bring me some white guys who can do this in their head. Not in math, physics or engineering departments but off the street.

[KuyaPenny]

Maybe this is only a coincidence, I tried solving 246x642 and it was a fail... Could you make a video how to solve it?

[mkjaiswal100]

chinese might be using this but they learnt it from India. This is vedic mathematics whose origin is from one of the vedas and more specifically "atharva veda".

[QueenReina2010]

DONT BE MISLEADING PEOPLE THATS THE WAY THE MAYANS MULTIPLY.

[IanMarcias]

Cool... but wouldn't it be quicker to multiply it the old fashion way?

[TheModernkillfare]

i dont get it so ... fck it i just watched 8 seconds anyway

[sufman100]

it ok but the maths behing it is very simple and by doingwith numbers it is faster

[Chankeypathak]

How could anyone dislike this?

[itsshivam]

This is The Vedic Method of India not the Chinese Method....

[TheDarkhorse8888]

interesting except when you do:

989x988

so many intersections and if you are poor at drawing it really hurts you.

still cool though

[CullenHearts]

GENIUS

[destroyallnerds]

lol azns

nao i kno ur sekret ;]

[PrincessGawry]

SPREAD the message...amaizing but... It's traditional INDIAN method of multiplying. It's called VEDIC MATHS. We cant let Chinese take our Royalty..

[Hero768]

@PrincessGawry

Yup i agree my mistake..

i went thru after i uploaded.. :(

[008vvv]

สุดยอดเลย  น่าจะรู้วิธีนี้ตั้งนานแล้ว จะได้ใช้เวลาสอบได้

[forbidnapple]

PLS GOOGLE SEARCH "VEDIC MATHS" AND SEE AMAZING SHORT CUTS OF MATHEMATICS.........

[forbidnapple]

this is not chinese way.this is old vedic way(ancient indians)...they invented zeros(woww), pythagorus, chess, surgery, various short cuts like this one.......and wat not........pls get ur information correct before postin anything.......

[tigersoup]

fucking brilliant!

[JennifersBox]

I've always had trouble with multiplying (math has always been a hard subject for me) so this is really eye opening lol. Im really excited.

[sachin1581]

I think Vadic way (Ancient Indian) of multiplication is much faster and easier even when compared to traditional methods (and of course this one) we are used to...

[oxxkayexxo15]

chuy ka?

[TejasM14]

Apart from the fact that this is just another way, this is a useless method. For one, what would you do for higher digits like 86 X 69, draw 29 lines? And also you probably would make a whole lot many mistakes counting so many intersections rather than multiply in a regular way.

[gsaharan1990]

@shinwari2006 u shud hav made dat clear dat by givin a more appropriate example, the example dat u gav (10 x 20) did not make ur point clear..... nd secondly, its not my fab method (i personally am not a big fan of dis way of multiplying nos. since i find it extremely time consuming)

[gsaharan1990]

@shinwari2006 - y the hell do u need to multiply zeros ?? cant u just take dem separately ?? as in to multiply the nos. - 120 x 410 cant u first multiply 12 x 41 and then add 2 0's to the answer ??

[gr8venky]

it will not work when you multiply an odd number with an even number or vice versa...

[justRel]

You just have to put all the zeros in the end. I think...

[RiseToOffend]

I viewed this video in class and was told this was the Mayan way to multiply...?

[sweetcherry77]

cool

[w00tix]

that dudes got some cool handwriting, for numbers at least

[k40290]

how do you know where to draw the dotted line (semi circle)

anddd how dow you know whic number u add the 1 (when you carry it over)

[suripopje]

I am retarded and didn't get it :-(

[775evelyn]

how do you divide??? using this method??????

[XDarkstarZX]

this is not that fast actually. it's the same concept as multiplying with a table, one number on top of the other, except this way you have to draw lines. BUT this way is definitely unique because it is more of a visual concept.

[noobestofdamall]

Chinese do not count that way, i can easily solve the first few sums without trying.

[lorraine246]

that's to much

imagine you have a quiz and you have to do all that u probably wouldnt finish your quiz in time and i would definitely get confused with those lines and stuff

[LUSIANO1994]

imagine the teacher like wtf with you lines XD

[xDalyssaDx]

Ahh id think id rather use my calculator..

[jsheehan100]

oh man!!!! cool thanks

[EMHcybertron]

I'm so bad at maths so i'm deffenatly trying this

[elmersglue44]

there's obviously faster ways of multiplying, but just the fact that there's another method of doing it by just using simple, little lines is extraordinary.

[Imprezziveness]

that's true, but it's still just amazing how the numbers just turn out the way they do.

Just go further and think of how the old cultures may have known other tricks of math that we don't know.

[Dracopol]

@elmersglue44 We in the West have removed the simple wasteful lines (probably inspired by their use of the abacus) and just deal with the digits directly. We're doing exactly the same comparison of every digit with every other digit, carrying the tens and lining up the digits in the correct columns and adding them up. It's all the same operations, just indicated graphically.

[feldsliscia]

What about 999x9999 ?

[l0rdbulb]

meh. I definitely do it faster without drawing lines. Actually there isn't anything special in the calculations, just the pretty lines...

[shakitty1]

pretty cool, but it takes a long time. there are much easier ways of doing multiplication!

[mena3agram]

Woow, really smart
