Do you know that the best and fastesed way to do multiplication is to factor it out make a little tree just the same way you would if you were to look up your family history, for example 7x4= write:

7,7,7,7

and then and 7+7

7+7

then add two 14 togethere makes 26 you get the answer I myself picture my hands in my head and cout in twos first my 4 fingers on each hand then my thumbs, if that fails lol just use your toes lol.
