Some of the algorithms Trachtenberg developed are for general multiplication, division and addition. Also, the Trachtenberg system includes some specialised methods for multiplying small numbers between 5 and 13. The section on addition demonstrates an effective method of checking calculations that can also be applied to multiplication.
To multiply by numbers over 9: The multiplicand is set into the operand dials. The first (least significant) digit of the multiplier is set into the multiplier dial as above, and the crank is turned, multiplying the operand by that digit and putting the result in the accumulator. The input section is shifted one digit to the left with the end ...
The doubling time is a characteristic unit (a natural unit of scale) for the exponential growth equation, and its converse for exponential decay is the half-life. As an example, Canada's net population growth was 2.7 percent in the year 2022, dividing 72 by 2.7 gives an approximate doubling time of about 27 years.
In the example shared here, add 22 ( from the month and day) to 27 (from the year.) 22 + 27 = 49. Add the double digits together until it yields a single digit. In this case, 49 is 4 + 9 = 13 and ...
Say you have a 4-year-old Labrador named Comet — with the new equation, Comet's real "dog age" would be slightly older than 53. The reason for the difference is actually pretty simple.

After three years of effort and 50 prototypes [20] he introduced his calculator to the public. He built twenty of these machines in the following ten years. [21] This machine could add and subtract two numbers directly and multiply and divide by repetition.
Since 9 = 10 − 1, to multiply a number by nine, multiply it by 10 and then subtract the original number from the result. For example, 9 × 27 = 270 − 27 = 243. This method can be adjusted to multiply by eight instead of nine, by doubling the number being subtracted; 8 × 27 = 270 − (2×27) = 270 − 54 = 216.
