TALES OF A GRANDPA : FINGERS<\/p>\n

My children loved listening to stories told by their grandpa , my father -in – law.Here is one of his tales which runs as follows .<\/p>\n

In the olden days , men could only learn multiplication tables for 2,3,4 and 5 .In order to multiply by 6,7,8,9 they used their fingers.What they did to multiply by six through nine is as follows.<\/p>\n

Beginning with the thumb , let each finger on both hands stand for a number six through ten as shown in figure one .<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

figure one<\/p>\n

To multiply, put the tips of the two fingers representing the required numbers together.In figure two, we are multiplying six by eight.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

figure two<\/p>\n

We multiply the number of fingers that are touching as well as those below by ten.That gives 4 \u00d7 10 = 40 .<\/p>\n

Next we multiply the number of fingers on the left and those on the right which lie above the touching fingers. That gives 4 \u00d72 = 8 .<\/p>\n

Add what you obtained. That gives 40 + 8 = 48<\/p>\n

Now 6 \u00d7 8= 48<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

figure three<\/p>\n

In figure three we are multiplying eight by seven .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
