2. Multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

   The Egyptian method of multiplication of integers and fractions, which is documented in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, was by successive additions and doubling. For instance, to find the product of 13 and 21 one had to double 21 three times, obtaining 2 × 21 = 42 , 4 × 21 = 2 × 42 = 84 , 8 × 21 = 2 × 84 = 168 .
