This is the Lattis multiplicatoin method. It’s nothing special, I learned this in grade school and it’s my main form of multiplication. I’m not Chinese, btw.

hi thanks, I thought perhaps it was because the Chinese used this method but apparently it originated in India and its proper name is the “lattice” method !

hi, when you have …
hi, when you have filled the boxes by multiplying each number with its corresponding number, simply add the numbers in the diagonal rows, and write the answer below that row. If the answer for that row is greater than ten (ie. two digits) carry the greater digit over to the next diagonal row on the left and add the numbers as before. For example if the answer for adding a diagonal row of numbers is 15 then you would write 5 below that row and carry 1 over to the next row… hope this helps!?

that’s the thing about maths, as it gets more complicated it is really just applying the same simple principles, just the expressions become longer, thanks
