Egyptian Math - Easy Multiplication and Division

I saw a video on how to do this a few months back and it proved helpful. Figured I'd take my spin on it so you guys could check it out as well.

this looks like a cool method which obviuosly will take a lot of practice in order to master the adding of big numbers quick.. like the method, didnt know it existed until today ...

[petrus]

It is good that it has helped you; but I definitely advocate learning to be independent of needing a computer for mathematics.

A moral rule for me, is to never use a computer as more than a *convenience.* In other words, a computer can automate things, or do them more quickly than I can, but I should never use a computer for something that I *cannot* do myself. If I do that, I lose my independence.
