What method do Chinese use to work out multiplication sums?

Answer 1

They draw lines such as when you would try to figure out 7x6 you would make | for the 7 and _____ this way for the 6 then make half like circles on all 4 corners and count as you write them down. The answer is write every time but you can only do up to 2 digits.

Answer 2

The Chinese use a method called "multiplication grid" or "Chinese lattice multiplication". It involves creating a grid and filling it in with the digits of the multiplicand and multiplier, then multiplying each digit and summing the results diagonally to get the final product. This method is a visual and systematic way to break down and solve multiplication problems.
