Example 2. Multiply 789 by 69. By following ont the processes explained above, in this case the processes, which would be actually shown by a Burman in succession, would be as follows: (a) 789, (6) 42789, (c) 42789, (d) 48389, (e) 48389, (1) 48389, (g) 42389, (h) 52389, 69 69 69

89 (1) 52189, (1) 58189, (k) 53189, (1) 53829, (m) 53829, (n) 53829, (o) 53329,

69 Here then are 21 alterations of the ciphers before the result is arrived at. Demonstration by the European method :

Examplo 8. Multiply 448 by 874, The processes gone through are precisely those explained above, but care must be taken to observe the rule that the last cipher of the result wust be set down immediateiy sbene the multiplying cipher. Thus in commencing, the first process is shewn thps : (a) 56 748, and the successive steps of the second process, thus : (b) 569748, (c) 509748, 874
874 874 (d) 609748; and those of the third process thus : (0) 609748, (1) 609848, (g) 601848, 874
874
874. (A) 611848.
874 Similarly the remaining processes are shewn thus : (0) 611848, (1) 611848, (1) 643848.

Thus 27 alterations of the ciphers have to be gone through before the final result in arrived at. womonstration by the European method:
