  • Multiplication methods


    1. Multiplication by distributive law:
    i. a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c
    ii. a * (b - c) = a * b - a * c

    2. Multiplication by \begin{aligned}5^n\end{aligned}:
    When need to multiply with 5 power n , then we can
    put n zeros to the right of multiplicand and divide the number so formed by\begin{aligned}2^n\end{aligned}

    Example: 576 * 625
    \begin{aligned}
    = 576 * 5^4 \\
    = \frac{5760000}{2^4}\\
    = \frac{5760000}{16}\\
    = 360000
    \end{aligned}
