Long before the calculator or even modern math, Egyptians had discovered a way to multiply large numbers quickly. Here’s how it works.
Suppose you had this problem: 13×12=?
On a sheet of paper, draw a line to separate two columns. Down the column on the left, begin with the number1. Double it and write 2 below it, then double the 2 and write 4, and so on.
Down the column on the right, write the number you are multiplying by (in this case, 12). Under the 12, double it and write 24. then Double the 24 and write the number 48 under it, and so on.
Your columns should look like this：
1 12
2 24
4 48
8 96
16 192
Now find the numbers in the left column that add up to the first number in the problem (in this case, 13). The numbers 1+4+8=13, so underline the numbers in the right column opposite these numbers. Add these numbers (12+48+96) together, and you will get the sum 156, which is the correct answer to the problem of multiplying 13 by12.
Now try another example: 38×251+?
1 251
2 502
4 1,004
8 2,008
16 4,016
32 8,032
We see that 2+4+32=38. So 38×251=502+1,004+8,032. And that equals 9,538.
The ancient Egyptians also used columns like these to divide large numbers. Can you think of
how they might have done that?
66. The ancient Egyptians used columns to _______ large numbers.
A. add up
B. multiply
C. divide
D. both B and C
67. If you have the problem 12×24=?, __________.
A.you can’t use the first columns unles s you change 12×24→into 24×12=?
B.you can use the first column completely
C.you can’t use the first columns at all.
D.only when you list another columns can you work out the problems
68.Now try another problem 47×251=?, using the second columns. Which of the following is correct?
A.In the left column find the number and calculate 32+16－1 and find the right numbers in the
right column opposite them, calculate 8032+4016-251 and get the sum.
B.In the left column find the numbers and calculate 1+2+4+8+32and find the right numbers in
the right column opposite them, calculate 251+502+1004+2008+8032 and get the sum.
C.Neither A nor B
D. Both A and B
69.What does the author tell us?
A.Egyptians were good at counting.
B.Egyptians had their own way to multiply large numbers quickly.
C.Egyptians could calculate only y adding up numbers.
D.Egyptians were quick in adding up the numbers.
