how to multiply

Here the other multiplication, beginning with the last  digit :

Hi Radix,    

That is back to front to how I would do it.  Is that how it is taught in Germany?   

(The answer is the same)

Hi Melody,

in Germany you may begin with 3  or  with the last 2  ! It is different from teacher to teacher. Both is allowed.

Thanks Radix,

I have never seen it starterd with the highest power first.  I learn something every day :)

That's pretty cool, Radix. I probably wouldn't do it that way myself, but it is handy to know that there are other methods...!!!!
