Animaniacs - Multiplication MissF: Yakko... Yakko: Yes, Miss Flamiel? MissF: I want you to multiply 47 times 83. Yakko: Sounds like a song cue to me! MissF: No it doesn't. Yakko: Oh yes it does. HIT IT, (Maury?)! Yakko: Seven times three is twenty-one Which as you know is just two tens plus one And so we put the one right here And we carry the two one left To the top of the ten's place right next door And we put it on top of the number four Which is really four tens that we multiply Times three in the one's place, and that's why We now have twelve, which we add to the two That we carried to get fourteen. See how easy that was? Oh ho, it's multiplication It's math education Hey, Albert Einstein said that it's so easy to do It's simple, it's breezy It's fun and it's easy Just buy a calculator; you can multiply too. And now, the second digit... Seven times eight is fifty-six Which as you know is just five tens plus six And so we put the six right here In the ten's place, left of the one Carry the five, like we did before To the top of the ten's place, next to the four Then multiply that four times eight To get thirty-two, see isn't this great? Then we add the five that we carried before To get thirty-seven, then add once more Straight down to get three thousand, nine hundred and one. Isn't this swell? Oh, let's give multiplication A standing ovation Isaac Newton multiplied a couple times, too Times two, times two, times two It's simple, it's breezy It's fun and it's easy So buy a calculator And study this stuff later Maybe someday you can multiply numbers too Three, four, five Recess!
