Answers to Questions
How to calculate a multiplication with big numbers?
The dCode multiplication tool with big integers uses arbitrary precision calculation algorithms. That is to say that it can multiply exact values without rounding nor need of a scientific notation. It is called large/huge number multiplication.
What are multiplication tables?
Traditionally multiplication tables refers to this table:
| \ | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| 2 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 |
| 3 | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 | 30 |
| 4 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 | 24 | 28 | 32 | 36 | 40 |
| 5 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 |
| 6 | 6 | 12 | 18 | 24 | 30 | 36 | 42 | 48 | 54 | 60 |
| 7 | 7 | 14 | 21 | 28 | 35 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 | 70 |
| 8 | 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 | 40 | 48 | 56 | 64 | 72 | 80 |
| 9 | 9 | 18 | 27 | 36 | 45 | 54 | 63 | 72 | 81 | 90 |
| 10 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 |
What is the Karatsuba algorithm?
In order to improve calculation time the multiplication is accelerated by decomposing it:
Example: ab * cd = (a * 10^k + b) * (c * 10^k + d) = ac * 10^2k + (ad + bc) * 10^k + bd
This multiplication needs 4 values ac, ad, bc and bd. More :
(a * 10^k + b) * (c * 10^k + d) = ac * 10^2k + (ac + bd - (a - b)(c - d)) * 10^k + bd
The same multiplication needs 3 values : ac, bd and (a - b)(c - d).
