  Multiplication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, multiplication is an arithmetic operation which is the inverse of division, and in elementary arithmetic, can be interpreted as repeated addition.
Multiplication can be denoted in several equivalent ways.
Once multiplication has been defined for natural numbers, it can be extended to include integers, and then to real and complex numbers.

 Peasant multiplication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peasant multiplication, also known as Russian peasant multiplication, is an old algorithm for multiplication.
It requires no use of a multiplication table other than the ability to multiply by two; it also requires that the user be able to divide by 2, and to add.
It is still used by peasants in some areas, such as Russia.
