  2. Multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_algorithm

    Nevertheless, it is seen as a usefully explicit method to introduce the idea of multiple-digit multiplications; and, in an age when most multiplication calculations are done using a calculator or a spreadsheet, it may in practice be the only multiplication algorithm that some students will ever need.

  3. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

    Some of the algorithms Trachtenberg developed are ones for general multiplication, division and addition. Also, the Trachtenberg system includes some specialised methods for multiplying small numbers between 5 and 13. The section on addition demonstrates an effective method of checking calculations that can also be applied to multiplication.

  4. Stepped reckoner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepped_reckoner

    The stepped reckoner or Leibniz calculator was a mechanical calculator invented by the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (started in 1673, when he presented a wooden model to the Royal Society of London [2] and completed in 1694). [1]

  5. Karatsuba algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karatsuba_algorithm

    Karatsuba multiplication of az+b and cz+d (boxed), and 1234 and 567 with z=100. Magenta arrows denote multiplication, amber denotes addition, silver denotes subtraction and cyan denotes left shift. (A), (B) and (C) show recursion with z=10 to obtain intermediate values. The Karatsuba algorithm is a fast multiplication algorithm.

  6. Standard algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_algorithms

    In elementary arithmetic, a standard algorithm or method is a specific method of computation which is conventionally taught for solving particular mathematical problems. . These methods vary somewhat by nation and time, but generally include exchanging, regrouping, long division, and long multiplication using a standard notation, and standard formulas for average, area, and vol

  7. 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 .

  8. Napier's bones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier's_bones

    Napier's bones is a manually operated calculating device created by John Napier of Merchiston, Scotland for the calculation of products and quotients of numbers. The method was based on lattice multiplication, and also called rabdology, a word invented by Napier.

  9. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

    A basic technique of integer multiplication employs repeated addition. For example, the product of can be calculated as + + +. [68] A common technique for multiplication with larger numbers is called long multiplication. This method starts by writing the multiplier above the multiplicand.
