Multiples are also very important in the numerical system for example the number 60 is ọgọ́ta which literally means three twenties (ogún = 20, ẹ̀ta = 3). Up to 30, Yoruba has distinct forms of the numerals for counting objects, which derive from counting cowries .
Numbers may either precede or follow their noun (see Latin word order). Most numbers are invariable and do not change their endings: regnāvit Ancus annōs quattuor et vīgintī (Livy) [1] 'Ancus reigned for 24 years' However, the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 200, 300, etc. change their endings for gender and grammatical case.
In some places, the large number names were then applied to the smaller numbers, following the new punctuation scheme. Thus, in France and Italy, some scientists then began using billion to mean 10 9 , trillion to mean 10 12 , etc. [ 28 ] This usage formed the origins of the later short scale.

First multiply the quarters by 47, the result 94 is written into the first workspace. Next, multiply cwt 12*47 = (2 + 10)*47 but don't add up the partial results (94, 470) yet. Likewise multiply 23 by 47 yielding (141, 940). The quarters column is totaled and the result placed in the second workspace (a trivial move in this case).

Multiplication is often defined for natural numbers, then extended to whole numbers, fractions, and irrational numbers. However, abstract algebra has a more general definition of multiplication as a binary operation on some objects that may or may not be numbers. Notably, one can multiply complex numbers, vectors, matrices, and quaternions.
This usage probably evolved from the distinctive usage for years; "nineteen-eighty-one", or from four-digit numbers used in the American telephone numbering system which were originally two letters followed by a number followed by a four-digit number, later by a three-digit number followed by the four-digit number.
