    Correct! It would end up a messy quagmire to work out 8945 x 9854, and for these sorts of cases it is not the quickest method.
    I'd use the vedic math techniques to do those types of calculations.

    This is basicly a visualization of the foil method you would use in expanding brackets, and extending that to two numbers i.e. 14 * 12 would be (10 + 4)(10+2) = 100 + 20 + 40 + 8 = 168. Expressing this in a algebraic form is probably more space efficient. Great video, btw.

    I prefer doing it at a table. f.e 212*13:
    2 1 2
    * - - -
    1 | 2 1 2
    3 | 6 3 6
    (Diagonal from the top right corner to the bottom left corner of the result)
    answer: (2)_(1+6)_(2+3)_(6) = 2756
    This is especially better for large numbers

    Very nicely described and nice looking!! I posted a similar discussion in my “Math Rules” channel. Several folks commented out that this technique is not truly Japanese. In fact, it was apparently used to teach kids how to use an abacus perhaps up until thirty years ago, but since then it’s been dropped from the curriculum. So Japanese students today would never be taught this approach. I don’t refer to it as “Japanese” as much as the “graphics crossing” approach for lack of a better name.

    Answer: the intiial examples are typically quite simple and don’t involve both large numbers of crossings (like 19 x 81) or large number of carries in the addition phase. This is one of the limitations of this “graphics crossings” approach, I would say.

  • @seesharp53
    @seesharp53 5 лет назад +5

    I've seen this method described elsewhere many times - the examples shown always use low value digits, always. It's when you try something like 97 x 58 that you realise how tedious it gets.

      @Alkis05 2 года назад +1

      Or use a different line (eg. dashed line) to represent a line with value 5 instead of 1. That cuts down the max number of lines per digit from 10 to 5.

  • @Examinx
    @Examinx 10 лет назад

    This is just another form of rewriting the numbers into a sum and multiplying them. For example, the 212*13 can be rewritten as (2*100+1*10+2)*(1*10+3).
    You get 2*1000+(6+1)*100+(2+3)*10+6=2756.
    It's probably quicker to think of how to expand the number, multiply, and add before you do it, since doing something like 212*(10+3) is quicker (2120+636=2756) than expanding everything.
    If you have 9's, you can do subtraction instead. 25*19=25*(20-1)=500-25=475.

      whenever you encounter a 0 just leave a space where the line would be drawn if the unit was say 1 instead of 0, then draw a circle and use that. but instead of adding the intersections like you normally would just make that group (thousands, hundreds etc) 0.

    Try it with 97*76 and compare that with the numeral method. Then do likewise with FD*CE in hex vs doing it numeral by numeral. This is only a nicer method for numbers like 13 and 14 where the individual digits are small.

    Step 1: Add two zeros(for two 9's) to 999 = 99900
    Step 2: Subtract 999 from 99900 = 98901

    Excellent. Not nearly as fast as using reference numbers or direct multiplication but it's very graphic and clear. It doesn't involve some seemingly magical formula like the Vedic methods. IMO it would be even more striking if the lines for the 10s & 1s were in contrasting colors. I think I will use this to teach my young grandson. Thanks.

    Please, can anyone tell me who invented this because it was just an invention of my dream.

    These get real ridiculous with anything higher. Its meant for smaller multiplication. Doing something like 7895 x 68 can take a whole sheet of paper, and that's a relatively small multiplication problem. The ones demonstrated here are pretty much the ceiling for being a practical method. Even something like 689 x 42 can get pretty out of control on a piece of paper.

    Just by thinking of the method I came up with a way. Draw a single dashed line whenever a zero appears and just do not count any intersections with the dashed line when you add it up. You could just not draw the dashed line, but I would draw it as a place holder so that you don't mess up when circling the different sections.
