LATTICE MULTIPLICATION

Welcome to Lattice Multiplication

What is Lattice Multiplication?

Lattice multiplication is a method of multiplying large numbers using a grid. This method breaks the multiplication process into smaller steps; which for some, makes it easier.

Setting up the Lattice First draw a grid that has as many rows and columns

as the multiplicand and the multiplier.

The grid below shows multiplying a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number.1 2

Multiplicand vs. Multiplier

What is a Multiplicand?

A multiplicand is the number that is or is to be multiplied by another number.

What is a Multiplier?

A multiplier is the number by which another number is multiplied

For example: in 35 × 10, the multiplicand is 35 and the multiplier is 10.

Example: 35 × 10

Setting up the Lattice

Draw a diagonal line through each box from the upper right corner to the lower left corner.

This gives us a spot for

the tens place and a spot for the ones place.
