Show A evonder ii in figures some person of a mathematical turn of 0 mind has discovered that the multiplication of which you will observe are dimply simply the figures I 1 to 9 inclusive reversed by 45 gives revers ing the order of the digits and multiplying LZ by 43 45 we get a result equally curious viz i SM if we take as the multiplicand and and interchanging the figures in 45 s so as to make them read 54 use the last number number a as samul a multiplier and the result will be returning to the multiplicand and taking 54 as the multiplier again the result willbe will be all as except the first and last figures which together read 64 54 the multiplier taking the same multi multiplicand P gicand and 27 the half of 54 as the multiplier the product is a all I 1 Cs Gs except the first and last figures which together read 27 the multiplier now interchanging ter the order ot of the figures 27 and using 72 instead as a multiplier and as the multiplicand we get as a product all Is except the first and last figures which together read 72 the multiplier philadelphia press |
