2. Multiply 



* The reason of this method is obvious ; for any number mul- 

 tiplied by the component parts of another number must give the 

 same product, as though it were maltiplied by that number at 

 once ; thus in example the second, 7 times the product of 8? 

 multiplied into the given number, makes 56 times that givea 

 number, as plainly as 7 times 8 jnakes 56,
