The multiplication of two numbers spaced far from a power of 10
If you follow me, then you can solve all the problems below.
Only will one more modified process be added.
- 48 X 53 = ?
- The base shall be 5 X 10.
- You shall subtract 50 each from 48 and 53, which would be -2, +3.
- You shall position the numbers like the followed.
- On the left, you shall position the value of 48 + 3 or 53 + (-2) which is the diagonal summation and multiply the value by 5.
Don't forget to multiply the value by 5. - On the right, you shall position the value of (-2) X 3.
The digits on the right must be equal to the number of zeros in base.

- 16 X 99 = ?
- You subtract 1 from the number other than 99, 999, 999, · · ·.
→ 16 - 1 = 15 - On the left, you shall position 15.
- You subtract this value from 99,999,999, · · ·.
→ 99 - 15 = 84 - On the right, you shall position 84.
The digits on the right must be equal to the number of nines in 99, 999, 9999, · · ·.
