2. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_calculation

   Another method is to simply multiply the number by 10, and add the original number to the result. For example: 17 × 11 17 × 10 = 170 170 + 17 = 187 17 × 11 = 187 One last easy way: If one has a two-digit number, take it and add the two numbers together and put that sum in the middle, and one can get the answer.

3. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

   Trachtenberg system. The Trachtenberg system is a system of rapid mental calculation. The system consists of a number of readily memorized operations that allow one to perform arithmetic computations very quickly. It was developed by the Russian engineer Jakow Trachtenberg in order to keep his mind occupied while being in a Nazi concentration ...

4. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

   Elementary arithmetic is a branch of mathematics involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Due to its low level of abstraction, broad range of application, and position as the foundation of all mathematics, elementary arithmetic is generally the first branch of mathematics taught in schools. [ 1][ 2]

5. Napier's bones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier's_bones

   Single-digit numbers are written in the bottom right triangle leaving the other triangle blank, while double-digit numbers are written with a digit on either side of the diagonal. If the tables are held on single-sided rods, 40 rods are needed in order to multiply 4-digit numbers – since numbers may have repeated digits, four copies of the ...

6. Karatsuba algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karatsuba_algorithm

   The Karatsuba algorithm is a fast multiplication algorithm. It was discovered by Anatoly Karatsuba in 1960 and published in 1962. [ 1][ 2][ 3] It is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that reduces the multiplication of two n -digit numbers to three multiplications of n /2-digit numbers and, by repeating this reduction, to at most single-digit ...

7. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

   An order-of-magnitude estimate of a variable, whose precise value is unknown, is an estimate rounded to the nearest power of ten. For example, an order-of-magnitude estimate for a variable between about 3 billion and 30 billion (such as the human population of the Earth) is 10 billion. To round a number to its nearest order of magnitude, one ...

8. 11 (number) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11_(number)

   An easy way to multiply numbers by 11 in base 10 is: If the number has: 1 digit, replicate the digit: 2 × 11 becomes 22. 2 digits, add the 2 digits and place the result in the middle: 47 × 11 becomes 4 (11) 7 or 4 (10+1) 7 or (4+1) 1 7 or 517.

9. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

   Fixed-point arithmetic. In computing, fixed-point is a method of representing fractional (non-integer) numbers by storing a fixed number of digits of their fractional part. Dollar amounts, for example, are often stored with exactly two fractional digits, representing the cents (1/100 of dollar). More generally, the term may refer to ...
