  2. Grid method multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_method_multiplication

    The grid method (also known as the box method) of multiplication is an introductory approach to multi-digit multiplication calculations that involve numbers larger than ten. Because it is often taught in mathematics education at the level of primary school or elementary school , this algorithm is sometimes called the grammar school method.

  3. Lattice multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_multiplication

    For example, to multiply 5.8 by 2.13, the process is the same as to multiply 58 by 213 as described in the preceding section. To find the position of the decimal point in the final answer, one can draw a vertical line from the decimal point in 5.8, and a horizontal line from the decimal point in 2.13. (See picture for Step 4.)

  4. Multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_algorithm

    The grid method (or box method) is an introductory method for multiple-digit multiplication that is often taught to pupils at primary school or elementary school. It has been a standard part of the national primary school mathematics curriculum in England and Wales since the late 1990s. [3]

  5. Multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

    Many common methods for multiplying numbers using pencil and paper require a multiplication table of memorized or consulted products of small numbers (typically any two numbers from 0 to 9). However, one method, the peasant multiplication algorithm, does not. The example below illustrates "long multiplication" (the "standard algorithm", "grade ...

  6. No-three-in-line problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-three-in-line_problem

    The no-three-in-line drawing of a complete graph is a special case of this result with =. [12] The no-three-in-line problem also has applications to another problem in discrete geometry, the Heilbronn triangle problem. In this problem, one must place points, anywhere in a unit square, not restricted to a grid. The goal of the placement is to ...

  7. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

    The method for general multiplication is a method to achieve multiplications with low space complexity, i.e. as few temporary results as possible to be kept in memory. This is achieved by noting that the final digit is completely determined by multiplying the last digit of the multiplicands. This is held as a temporary result.

  8. Chisanbop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisanbop

    With the chisanbop method it is possible to represent all numbers from 0 to 99 with the hands, rather than the usual 0 to 10, and to perform the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of numbers. [4] The system has been described as being easier to use than a physical abacus for students with visual impairments. [5]

  9. Napier's bones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier's_bones

    The method was based on lattice multiplication, and also called rabdology, a word invented by Napier. Napier published his version in 1617. [1] It was printed in Edinburgh and dedicated to his patron Alexander Seton. Using the multiplication tables embedded in the rods, multiplication can be reduced to addition operations and division to ...
