  2. Multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_algorithm

    In arbitrary-precision arithmetic, it is common to use long multiplication with the base set to 2 w, where w is the number of bits in a word, for multiplying relatively small numbers. To multiply two numbers with n digits using this method, one needs about n 2 operations.

  3. 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.

  4. Binary multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_multiplier

    In binary encoding each long number is multiplied by one digit (either 0 or 1), and that is much easier than in decimal, as the product by 0 or 1 is just 0 or the same number. Therefore, the multiplication of two binary numbers comes down to calculating partial products (which are 0 or the first number), shifting them left, and then adding them ...

  5. Booth's multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booth's_multiplication...

    Booth's multiplication algorithm is a multiplication algorithm that multiplies two signed binary numbers in two's complement notation. The algorithm was invented by Andrew Donald Booth in 1950 while doing research on crystallography at Birkbeck College in Bloomsbury, London. [1] Booth's algorithm is of interest in the study of computer ...

  6. Multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

    The multiplication of whole numbers may be thought of as repeated addition; that is, the multiplication of two numbers is equivalent to adding as many copies of one of them, the multiplicand, as the quantity of the other one, the multiplier; both numbers can be referred to as factors.

  7. 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.)

  8. Schönhage–Strassen algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schönhage–Strassen...

    This section has a simplified version of the algorithm, showing how to compute the product of two natural numbers ,, modulo a number of the form +, where = is some fixed number. The integers a , b {\displaystyle a,b} are to be divided into D = 2 k {\displaystyle D=2^{k}} blocks of M {\displaystyle M} bits, so in practical implementations, it is ...

  9. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_calculation

    Since 9 = 10 − 1, to multiply a number by nine, multiply it by 10 and then subtract the original number from the result. For example, 9 × 27 = 270 − 27 = 243. This method can be adjusted to multiply by eight instead of nine, by doubling the number being subtracted; 8 × 27 = 270 − (2×27) = 270 − 54 = 216.
