TIC Multiply by Division.

Everybody knows that learning the
tens in the multiplication table is as
easy as pie" and that the fives are
not much harder; but, slight as is
the mental effort required in multiply
ing any number by five, it may be
lessened still more by discarding the
multiplier entirely and substituting
divisor instead. This may sound para
doxical, but ny experimenting you
will find that dividing by two VIII
bring the same result as multiplying
by FIVE, provided you add a cipher 10
the quotient If the dividend by an
even number or five if it be odd. For
instance, if you multiply 2,734 by fye
the product is 1850. What is still
easier. divide 2,734 by two, which Is
done almost instantaneously; then
tack on your naught and you nave
1850.
