Suppose you want to multiply 88 by 98.

Not easy, you might think. But with
VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE you can give
the answer immediately, using the same method
as on the page.

Both 88 and 98 are close to 100.
88 is 12 below 100 and 98 is 2 below 100.

You can imagine the sum set out like this:

88 - 12
x 1
98 - 2
_____
86 - 24

As before the 86 comes from
subtracting crosswise: 88 - 2 = 86
(or 98 - 12 = 86: you can subtract
either way, you will always get
the same answer).
And the 24 in the answer is
just 12 x 2: you multiply vertically.
So 88 x 98 = 8624
