3 = 1*3 Rightmost digit is product of two rightmost 8 = 2*3 + 2*1 Tens digit is sum of two products (tens-column * ones-column) 4 = 2*2 Hundreds digit is product of tens digits. NOTE: No carrys! (Carrys will go under next column left.) 3*4 = 12: // 2 in ones-column; carry 1 underneath, to tens-column. 3*4 + 3*4 = 24: // add carried 1 for 5, with 2 carried underneath to 100s col. 3*4 = 12: // add carried 2 for 4 in hundreds-column; carried 1 goes in 1000s-col. Same can be done Right-To-Left. (carries go underneath next column to right!) 3*4 is 12; // 1 in 1000s column, 2 underneath 100s col. 3*4 + 3*4 = 24; // 2+carry=4, 4 under tens col. 3*4 = 12; // adding carried 4 puts 5 in tens column, 2 into ones-column.
