The reafon why the 2 is fet under Produft 37195 Produdt 147840 the multiplying figure, or in the place of tens, is, becaufe the multiplying figure 6 is really 6 tens or 60, and 60 4. To multiply any number by 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, times 2 make 120; fo that by carrying the 1 to the next 16, he. multiply by the unit’s figure, and add the backof the multiplicand to the produdt; and to multiply place, and fetting down 20, the o would fall into the figure 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, he. add the double of place of units, and throw the 2 into the place of tens ; but by back-figure; and to multiply by 31, 32, 33, 34, he. as o can make no alteration in the addition of the par- the tial produ&s, the fetting of it down is fofely and juftly add the triple of it; and to multiply by 112, x 13, 114, he. add the two back-figures ; and to multiply by 101, omitted.
