Miss Flamiel: Yakko? Yakko: Yes, Miss Flamiel? Miss Flamiel: I want you to multiply 47 x 83. Yakko: 7 x 3 is 21, Which, as you know, Is just two 10s plus 1, and so, We put the 1 right here, And we carry the 2, one left To the top of the tens place, right next door And we put it on top of the number 4, Which is really four 10s that we multiply Times 3 in the ones place and that's why We now have 12, which we add to the 2 That we carry to get 14.
See how easy that was?
Oho, it's multiplication It's math education. Hey, Albert Einstein said That it's so easy to do. It's simple, it's breezy, It's fun and it's easy, Just buy a calculator, You can multiply, too!
And now, the second digit.
7 x 8 is 56, Which, as you know, Is just five 10s plus 6, and so, We put the 6 right here In the tens place, left of the 1 And we carry the 5 like we did before To the top of the tens place next to the 4, Then multiply that 4 x 8 To get 32. See, isn't this great? Then, we add the 5 that we carried before To get 37, then add once more Straight down to get 3,901!
Isn't this swell?
Oh, let's give multiplication A standing ovation! Isaac Newton multiplied A couple times two! Yakko and Newton: Times two! Times two! Times two! Yakko: It's simple, it's breezy, It's fun and it's easy, So buy a calculator And study this stuff later Maybe someday, you can multiply numbers Too, three four five... Recess!
