    • try

      Can you please try 14 x 26? I Could not get it to work?
      Thanks

      By rvinodk 1214501218
    • 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.

      By ArchAngel01 1215007518
    • 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

      By machotai 1214747316
    • if you can follow...

      use a calculator. 23x15=345 not 435. What are u teaching our kids?

      By mazorodze 1215088998
    • 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!

      By bumbleebee13x 1215088718
    • thanks bumbleebee

      your explanation is the simplest and easiest

  • ............

    doesn't work with big numbers stupid ass!!!

    By ahmadhs 1215078255
  • for other big numbers

    the trick is try to add the 1st and 2nd number result then add the 3rd and 4th result and put them together to get the final answer.... try it with 14x26 = 364

    By ez2forget 1214931163
  • this

    is super pointless

    By bozcro 1214926866
  • 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

    By Scortch 1214922196
  • not standard

    doesnt work with all 2 digit numbers

    By chilled 1214582426
  • so cool!!!!!

    its genius.......

    By dexter_x1x 1214530394
  • 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''

    By sephirothi84 1214520560
  • Does not work

    Hi, It does not work try 14x26

    By rvinodk 1214498289
    • 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..

    This video already in metacafe

    By XJokermanX 1214492351
  • plagiatic or remake/repost?

    the first reason i downloaded metacafe 2 years ago because i saw clip about this multiplication method from metacafe

    By musicteacher 1214466737
  • 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.

    By allchinesearebad 1214411287
