Did you know?

Did you know that you can multiply large numbers using the column method? For example, if you want to calculate 3214 multiplied by 245, you can write these two numbers one below the other and start multiplying column-wise. You begin by multiplying 4 by 245, which equals 980. Then, you multiply 1 by 245, which equals 245, and write it below the first result, aligning the digits correctly. Next, you multiply 2 by 245, resulting in 490, and place it below the previous results. Finally, you multiply 3 by 245, equaling 735, and write it underneath. To get the final answer, you just add up these four results vertically: 7350 + 4900 + 2450 + 980 equals 15,680. By using the column method, you can quickly and efficiently calculate multiplications of large numbers.
