Whan an article multiplieth{e} an article, the digit wherof he is named{e} is to be brought Into the digit wherof the oþ{er} is named{e}, and eu{er}y vnyte wol be worth{e} [*Fol. 52.] an .100., and eu{er}y article. a .1000. Whan an article multiplieth{e} a nombre componed{e}, thow most bryng the digit of the article into aither part of the nombre componed{e}; and Ioyne the p{ro}duccio{u}n, and eu{er}y article wol be worth{e} .100., and eu{er}y vnyte .10., and so woll{e} the some be open{e}. Whan a nombre componed{e} multiplieth{e} a nombre componed{e}, eu{er}y p{ar}t of the nombre multiplying is to be had{e} into eu{er}y p{ar}t of the nombre to be multiplied{e}, and so shall{e} the digit be had{e} twies, onys in the digit, that other in the article. The article also twies, ones in the digit, that other in the article. Therfor yf thow wilt any nombre by hym-self other by any other multiplie, write the nombre to be multiplied{e} in the ou{er} ordre by his differences, The nombre multiplying in the lower ordre by his differences, so that the first of the lower ordre be vnder the last of the ou{er} ordre. This done, of the multiplying, the last is to be had{e} into the last of the nombre to be multiplied{e}. Wherof than wolle grow a digit, an article, other a nombre componed{e}. If it be a digit, even above the figure multiplying is hede write his digit that come of, as it appereth{e} here:-- +-----------------------+---+ | The resultant | 6 | +-----------------------+---+ | To be multiplied{e} | 3 | +-----------------------+---+ | Þe nombre multipliyng | 2 | +-----------------------+---+ And yf an article had be writ ou{er} the fig{ur}e multiplying his hede, put a cifre þ{er} and transferre the article toward{e} the lift hand{e}, as thus:-- +-------------------------+---+---+ | The resultant | 1 | 0 | +-------------------------+---+---+ | to be multiplied{e} | | 5 | +-------------------------+---+---+ | þe nombre m{u}ltipliyng | | 2 | +-------------------------+---+---+ And yf a nombre componed{e} be writ ou{er} the figure multyplying is hede, write the digit in the nombre componed{e} is place, and sette the article to the lift hand{e}, as thus:-- +------------------------+---+---+ | Resultant | 1 | 2 | +------------------------+---+---+ | to be multiplied{e} | | 4 | +------------------------+---+---+ | the nombre multipliyng | | 3 | +------------------------+---+---+ This done, me most bryng the last save one of the multipliyng into the last of þe nombre to be multiplied{e}, and se what comyth{e} therof as before, and so do w{i}t{h} all{e}, tille me come to the first of the nombre multiplying, that must be brought into the last of the nombre to be multiplied{e}, wherof growith{e} oþ{er} a digit, an article, [*Fol. 52b] other a nombre componed{e}. If it be a digit, In the place of the ou{er}er, sette a-side, as here:
