i dont think it's right way. Try 1938x246 and then calculate with your caculator

@senditon1993 hi, I tried it I got '476748' first time :) took me about 1/2 a minute. Are you understanding the process? Perhaps you made a simple mistake in your arithmetic?

It took you too much time...

Making the multiplication in the ocidental way was faster to me.

[MattBlytheTheOne]

@yuirrr when you learn it is really easy doesn't take any longer than the traditional method but is simpler to add up :) each to their own you use whatever you are comfortable with, I made a video about it that's all :P

Very nice, but why taking the time to draw those grids?

My mom taught me just put the under each other and then do multiply with each other, kinda like what you did. That's way faster :o
