Yongwen Zhu . The Plum-Blossom Product Method of Large Digit Multiplication and Its Application to Computer Science. International Journal of Computer Applications. 183, 41 ( Dec 2021), 17-23. DOI=10.5120/ijca2021921805
In this paper, we introduce a novel method for multiplication of large integers called plum-blossom product method. This is not only an effective mental method of multiplication, but also can be used to computer science. Compared with the rapid multiplication method of Shi Fengshou and the Indian Vedic algorithm, the plum-blossom product method is more systematic, suitable for computing the multiplication of any multi-digit numbers in mind, and it has less formulae so that it is very simple and easy to learn. For the aspect of application to compute science, the corresponding multiplication algorithm with plum-blossom products is given for integers in the binary number system. Furthermore, an effective multiplier with the plum-blossom product method is designed, which can directly calculate the product of two 27-bit binary numbers. When associated with other methods such as Karatsuba algorithm, it may be able to compute product of any two large integers.
