To multiply two numbers by hand takes a few steps but it's something we're taught in school. When dealing with big numbers, really big numbers, we need to a quicker way to do things.

Multiplying two 10-digit numbers using traditional methods requires 10 × 10 = 10 2 = 100 small multiplications, but only around 10 1.58 ≈ 38 using Karatsuba’s method. That’s a 62% decrease. And for ...

In long multiplication, we have to multiply every digit of the first number by every digit of the second number. If the two numbers each have N digits, that’s N 2 (or N x N) multiplications altogether ...

Humans beat DeepMind AI in creating algorithm to multiply numbers. ... DeepMind’s paper revealed a new method for multiplying two five-by-five matrices in just 96 multiplications, two ...

Indeed, when it comes to multiplying two numbers, the best (or fastest) way to do it is often far from obvious. One particularly intriguing and efficient multiplication algorithm was developed in ...

Forget your times tables – mathematicians have found a new, faster way to multiply two numbers together. The method, which works only for whole numbers, is a landmark result in computer science.

Mathematicians have reportedly discovered a new way of multiplying two numbers together. The new technique is for really large numbers, and if it passes a peer-review, could be the fastest ...
