COMPOUND MULTIPLICATION.

COMPOUND MULTIPLICATION teaches to find the amount of any given number of different denominations by repeating it any proposed number of times.

Rule.- Place the multiplier under the lowest denomination of the multiplicand. Multiply the number of the lowest denomination by the multiplier, and find how many units of the next higher denomination are contained in the product, as in Compound Addition; write down the excess, and carry the quotient, or ones, to the product of the next higher denomination, with which proceed as before, through all the denominations to the highest ; whose product, with the several excesses, will be the whole amount required.--The method of proof is the same as in Simple Multiplication.
