The way you learned to multiply works, but computers employ a faster algorithm.

AlphaTensor is also easily adapted to finding algorithms for multiplying matrices in a mathematical system called modular arithmetic.

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.

To this end, [Ken Shirriff] set about reverse engineering the 8086’s multiplication algorithm. [Ken]’s efforts were achieved by using die photos of the 8086 chip.

One week after DeepMind revealed an algorithm for multiplying numbers more efficiently, researchers have an even better way to carry out the task ...

But Anatoly Karatsuba defied the odds, providing a breakthrough with what would come to be known as Karatsuba's Algorithm,a faster, more efficient way to multiply large numbers that would ...

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 ...

Hardware changes with the times, but best-in-class algorithms are eternal. Regardless of what computers look like in the future, Harvey and van der Hoeven’s algorithm will still be the most efficient ...

This study analyzed children's use of mental computation strategies and the standard algorithm on multi-digit subtractions. Fifty-eight Flemish 4th graders of varying mathematical achievement level ...
