The oldest known multiplication tables were used by the Babylonians about 4000 years ago. [2] However, they used a base of 60. [2] The oldest known tables using a base of 10 are the Chinese decimal multiplication table on bamboo strips dating to about 305 BC, during China's Warring States period.

so 3 × 17 = 30 + 21 = 51. This is the "grid" or "boxes" structure which gives the multiplication method its name. Faced with a slightly larger multiplication, such as 34 × 13, pupils may initially be encouraged to also break this into tens. So, expanding 34 as 10 + 10 + 10 + 4 and 13 as 10 + 3, the product 34 × 13 might be represented:
The first: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 (sequence A005843 in the OEIS). An odd number does not have the prime factor 2. The first: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 (sequence A005408 in the OEIS). All integers are either even or odd. A square has even multiplicity for all prime factors (it is of the form a 2 for some a).

In medicine and the social sciences, a young adult is generally a person in the years following adolescence, sometimes with some overlap. [1] Definitions and opinions on what qualifies as a young adult vary, with works such as Erik Erikson's stages of human development significantly influencing the definition of the term; generally, the term is often used to refer to adults in approximately ...
