- it works.
  You get 2-14-24. take the 1 from the 14, leaving the 4, and add it to 2 and get 3. take the 2 from the 24, leaving the 4, and add it to the 4 to get six, and the numbers line up 364.

- its easy
  the result of 14x26 would be 2_14_24 (counterclockwise) now add the 1st number to 2nd number 2+1= 3 then add the 3rd number to 4th number 4+2=6 then put the last number together with the results = 364

- LOL
  it's not 435..it's 345..coz it's 2,13,15. u just have to add the 1st digit to the first digit. like 2+1=3, then 3+1=4 then add the 5 at the end. simple!

Solution
When your numbers add up to become double digits, add the first digit to the one above, and then to the right. Here's and example:

23 x 15 = 345 looks like this:

23

13 15

2+1=(3) 3+1=(4) and the 5 (345) !

We simply add the vertical #'s on the left (in this example, 2 plus th one below it 1, for the first number of the answer:3
Then we add the remaining digit (in this case the 3, to the first digit to the right, or the one in this example, giving us a 4. And there you have it! 345

Can be done
it gets harder to use this method once you use numbers from 4 and up...there will be need to be added certain numbers and that requires some practice and by then the trick has lost its ''simplicity''

- 14 x 26 solution
  try to figure out the problem.. illustrate it as it is you got the first step. and now you got...2-14-24. ok? next step is something like this..add the first digit of the second number, to the first number. get it? no? here it is 14 is the second digit, so all you need to do is to get the first digit from it, which is 1 and add it the first number which is 2. so 1+2 is 3. now the next step. The soulution is just the same. just get the first digit of the third number and add it to the second number. get it? no again? well here it is(again). the third number is 24 right? the first digit is 2? get it? all you need to do is to add that number to the second number which is 4 so 2+4 is 6.. and now you so the puzzle.. come on guys..the anwer is 364..

ahh..my technique is faster..no need to ...
Fraction process...factor 21..7x3 isnt it.. 21x13=(7x3)x13 or (7x13)x3...and 7x13=91.. so when 91x3=273... always multiply big value 1st (7 is bigger "value" than 3)..then multiply again by the small value. another example.. 45x34... equal to (9x5)x34... 9x34 is 306.. 306x5 is 1530. there u go. try other number..u'll become expert..trust me.
