  • @xavcrack Is this multiplication method ok? Check it out! "Speed maths- Multiplying without multiplying". Click on my username and check the vid. Cheers.

  • 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.

  • @bugogorac calculator...

  • What is the name of this method? What is the reference? I should like to know more about this.

  • Its gr8 way to master every person in maths as they will take interest in it.

    i appreciate to the creator of this video hands up to you

  • @d4rksol123

    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

    

  • @Impozyble

    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
