If you can't effortlessly multiply any 2 digit numbers together in your head, why do you even bother studying math or science topics?

>normies actually believe this

>22 × 43 = 66
pretty sure this is not how you do double digit multiplication

That's the first step, 22*3

What's the next step in your master plan?

>Math is just calculation
This opinion is so reductive it makes you look like a moron.

22*40

protip: multiply biggest numbers first

those are bad steps, satan, should be this for mental arithmetic

20*40=800
+(2*40)=880
+(20*3)=940
+(2*3)=946

Why even bother when everyone literally carries a calculator around all day every day ?
I'm not saying it this is a good thing to completely relate on those things, but that's certainly not a necessary competence for studying math

20*43=860
2*43=86
860+86=946

now do 68*97 using that method

68*100 = 6800
68 * 3 = 180 + 24 = 204
6800-204=6596

Thread is about effortlessly multiplying 2 digit numbers, not having a singular method to always go by.

So while shows a different method, it's more about finding the easiest way to do it.

70*100=7000
70*3=210
100*2=200
2*3=6
68*97=7000-210-200+6=6596

the time you spend looking for nifty tricks to use is time you could spend doing calculations, which if you have your times table memorized is basically nothing

Unless you learn them by heart. There's a limited amount of 2-digit numbers, and some of the methods apply well to 90-99 (like ) and some numbers are just easy to multiply without having to go through several steps ( vs ).

It really doesn't take a lot of effort to learn some standard multiplication tricks, and it's certainly easier than remembering a whole 90x90 table.

just b urself

>being a human calculator autist equals to being intelligent

Because we've developed enough systems to omit triviality in further development of scientific or mathematic fields.

>humans invent calculators
>there are humans that still insist that people know how to do things in their head
They are the same type of person who says writing is bad because if you were really intelligent you would just memorize everything.
