Ancient Egyptian Multiplication
The Ancient Egyptians had a different method of multiplication to ours.For example, if they wanted to work out 64 x 23, they used this method:
To do this, you have to double the numbers in the left hand column and halve the numbers in the right hand column, ignoring any remainder. However, if the number on the right is even, you cross the whole line out. Continue this process until the right hand column becomes 1. Now add up all the numbers (not crossed out!) on the left, which will produce your answer.
