The above concise method of performing
Multiplication of Integers, is first by add
ing the figures together in the Multplicand
beginning at the right hand; say 0 is O.,
which bring down; then say to 4 is 4, bring
it down; then say to is 4, which bring
down; then say A and is ), set it down; then
say 5 and is IL, set down and carry 1;thcn
say and4 is ) and 1 is E and is l3and is l8,
set down and carry 1;then say and 4 is5 and
is 6 and is Is and islS and is 81, set
down and carry 2; and SO on till we obtain
that line as far as 8.--This line being tr.s
found, proceed to multiplying said line BY
=; saw Yt!mcs is 0;-9 times is SO. carry
8; then say 9 times is 81 and 3 is SO, set
down and Carry 8, and 50 otthc rest. The
/ } figures to the left hand are then found by
Subtraction; that is to say, those 13 figures
on the right hand must be subtracted from
10, beginning at the right hand; (iirst bor-
row one, for reasons that might be given)
say l from 10 and 9 remains; and is Z,
take from 10 and 5 remains; / and 9 is
lO,-1O from 10 and remains; and so on
till we get the 13 figures on the left hand.
If we wish a still shorter method, we may
take the nultiplicand itself,and place to the
left to which add tens land the result is found;
hence it is plain that the figures 8990S1S25

| Much the same method as the above,
will apply in all cases whe.c the multiplcrs
are alike figures.


Short division, (in several caamplcs) is the
rea(iicst method.
