I'm now practicing it with my head. I am now practicing it mentally. I am now concentrating! Ssshh! Be quiet! I am now getting better. It's getting better all the time! I am now a complete mental mathematician! Sorry, H&P, ITT, and Radio Shack, I don't need your calculators anymore! <lol>

What do you do when the numbers aren't c...
In the examples, the numbers are very close to each other and to the "base", but what if the numbers are not? How would you use this method to multiply 354x75 for example? or 456x972? Does this method work with negative numbers? Does it work with imaginary numbers (i)?

Great
A literal demonstration:

b is base and we have x*y

the method is:

[b-(b-x)-(b-y)]*b (b-x)(b-y)=
bx-b^2 by b^2-bx-by xy=
xy

c.v.d.

Error in example 4
The process doesn't work for this one. The correct answer is 9672, but as your process shows, the first number SHOULD be 97. Please explain.

- 108*103=(100 plus 8)*(100 plus 3) = (100)*(100) plus (8)*(100) plus (3)*(100) plus (3)(8) =
  =(111)(100) plus (24)
  
  As long as you have base that is easy like 10, 100, 1000 etc. and numbers are relatively close it comes in quite useful.
  
  Otherwise limitations are obvious.
