Using the method of lattice multiplication for the computation below would 4 x 618 give the following as the result B) 2472
What is the lattice method of multiplication?
The lattice method of multiplication is a visual technique for multiplying multi-digit numbers. To use it, draw a grid with horizontal and vertical lines, resembling a sieve or lattice. Label the top row with the digits of the first number, one digit per column. Also, label the leftmost column with the digits of the second number, one digit per row.
For the above multiplication, the summed values would be from left to right;
2, 4, 3 + 4, 2
2, 7, 4, 2
= 2472
