Answer #1

Russian peasant multiplication-------->

Write each number at the head of a column----->

26 47

Double the number in the first column, and halve the number in the second column------->

26 47

52 23

If the number in the second column is even, cross out that entire row.

(if not able to make a cross on number then make an underline )

Keep doubling, halving, and crossing out until the number in the second column is 1.

26 47

52 23

104 11

208 5

416 2

832 1

Add up the remaining numbers in the first column---->

26 47

52 23

104 11

208 5

416 2

+832 1

------------

1222

So the answer of 26 . 47 = 1222

b) Output of multiplication n by m or m by n will be the same by using Russian peasant algorithm

But from the standpoint of time efficiency it matters.

If second number is greater then it will take more time and if less then it will take less time.

Because doubling, halving, and crossing out will increase if second number is greater than first number.
