easier and faster the normal way

I don't know how you would do this with larger numbers, but this is a good trick for people with visual spatial issues who can't line up their numbers properly.

This method is to prove the distribution method NOT to replace multiplication. It is used to show the FOIL method: [a+b] [c+d] = ac+ad+bc+bd
Thus: 11 x 11 = [10+1] [10+1]
= 100 + 10 + 10 + 1
=121
Again, this is not meant to "replace" long multiplication OR calculators. This is to prove the FOIL method/distributive law or for the hell of the fun.

._. :s wow

This may cannot be applicable in all other conditions. For example: 24 X 12 = ? So use your method and see what i mean.

Isn't bad if you are bored, and you want to draw something...
But, i think is easier to do:
10x34 = 340 ; Now, 34+34 + 340 = 408
Great... Now show us an example of 9897949 * 995868.

To the people complaining how this method is complicated/useless..
This vid was, in no way, made to replace easier/faster methods of multiplication. Its just showing you a more interesting way of solving multiplication problems, not forcing you to use it cause cmon.. have you ever seen anyone solve a multiplication problem like this?
