This quick trick follows a clear pattern:

  • The calculation proceeds from right to left.
  • Each step handles a group of digits from the multiplicand.
  • The digits in the group are added, and carryovers are handled automatically.
  • The number of steps = (digits in multiplicand) + (digits in multiplier) − 1.
  • The group size increases and then decreases symmetrically during the process.
