My head hurts trying to understand the simplicity of this... I hate math even more now. lol really im mad that i dont get how simple it is.
imma watch it again tho as i do the 'I dont understand' dance
Maybe i'll get it the 2nd time around.
Its not difficult.
Lets do an example.
9 x 15
Step 1. You divide the number on the left over and over again until you get to "1". You ignore all decimals and simply work with whole numbers.
Step 2. You multiply the number on the right by 2 over and over again. If you have four numbers in the left column then you should have four numbers in the right column.
Step 3. Draw a line through all even numbers in the left column and disregard the respective line.
Step 4. Circle the numbers that you did not cross out.
Step 5. Add the sum of the number in the right column and you have your answer.
Example 9 x 15
Step 1.
9
4
2
1
Step 2.
15
30
60
120
Note: Step 1 and Step 2 are in columns and they are side by side.
Step 3.
Column1 Column 2
9......................15
4......................30
2......................60
1......................120
Step 4.
Column1 Column 2
9......................15
4......................30
2......................60
1......................120
Step 5.
15 + 120 = 135
So 9 x 15 = 135.
Try it out. :thinking:
