The Karatsuba algorithm is a fast multiplication ... that reduces the multiplication of two n-digit numbers to three multiplications of n/2-digit numbers and, ...
In 1960, Anatoly Karatsuba discovered Karatsuba multiplication, unleashing a flood of research into fast multiplication algorithms. This method uses three multiplications rather than four to multiply two two-digit numbers. (A variant of this can also be used to multiply complex numbers quickly.)
If one has a two-digit number, take it and add the two numbers together and put that sum in the middle, and one can get the answer. For example: 24 x 11 = 264 because 2 + 4 = 6 and the 6 is placed in between the 2 and the 4. Second example: 87 x 11 = 957 because 8 + 7 = 15 so the 5 goes in between the 8 and the 7 and the 1 is carried to the 8.
If the answer is greater than a single digit, simply carry over the extra digit (which will be a 1 or 2) to the next operation. The remaining digit is one digit of the final result. Example: 316 × 12 {\displaystyle 316\times 12}
The run-time bit complexity to multiply two n-digit numbers using the algorithm is ( ) in big O notation. The Schönhage–Strassen algorithm was the asymptotically fastest multiplication method known from 1971 until 2007.

Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.
