Not illustrated. 1853 Excerpt: ...in multiplication. Multiplicand, multiplier, product, factors. Explain them. The multiplicand is the number to be taken several times, or the number to be multiplied. The multiplier is the number of times the multiplicand is to be taken, or the number by which we multiply. The product is the number produced by multiplying; the multiplicand and multiplier are called its factors. How is multiplication done? We set the multiplier below the multiplicand at the right, and then, commencing at the right, multiply each figure of the multiplicand separately by the multiplier, doing with each product just as we did with the sum of each column in addition, that is, finding how many of the next value are contained in it, adding that to the next place, and setting down he remainder in its own place. How is multiplication done when the multiplier contains more than one figure 1 There are two ways of doing this. If the multiplier be the product of two or more factors, multiply successively by these factors in any order. How do you find out the factors of a number 1 By dividing it by any number which leaves no remainder; and then, if the quotient is too large, dividing it in like manner. The divisors and last quotient are the factors. What is the other method of multiplying by two or more figures We multiply the multiplicand by each figure of the multiplier separately, setting the products under each other so as to express their proper values, and adding the several products. How are the several products to be set so as to give their true values? As a figure in the second place is ten times the value of the same figure in the first place, its product must be ten times greater than if it stood in the first place. We therefore move every figure in the product one place to th...
