A wonder of addition and 
multiplication 
Enjoy math!
• Hello everyone! 
• I will show you an interesting topic of math. 
• I think you can understand if you are twelve 
years old or older. 
• Let’s start!
Take a pencil and paper if you can. 
Choose three or more positive integers and write them 
on the left-hand side of the paper. 
( In this case, I chose the four positive integers, 3, 4, 4 
and 5. ) 
3 4 4 5
Next, choose a integer on the left-hand side of the 
paper. ( In this case, I took 3. ) 
3 4 4 5
Then, write the product of the numbers that you didn’t 
choose on the left-hand side on the right-hand side. 
3 4 4 5 4×4×5 = 80
Then, subtract 1 from the number that you chose. 
3 4 4 5 
2 
80
Repeat the same thing again and again until 0 appears 
on the left-hand side. 
3 4 4 5 
2 
80
In this case, there are four numbers, 2, 4, 4 and 5 on the 
left-hand side at this time. Assume that you took 4 on 
the left-hand side. 
3 4 4 5 
2 
80
Then, you should write the product of the numbers that 
you didn’t choose. 
3 4 4 5 
2 
80 
2×4×5 = 40
Then, you should subtract 1 from the number that you 
chose on the left-hand side. 
3 4 4 5 
2 3 
80 
40
Repeat the same thing again and again until 0 appears 
on the left-hand side. 
3 4 4 5 
2 3

3 4 4 5 
2 3

3 4 4 5

2×3×4 = 24
3 4 4 5 
2 3 4

2 3 4

3 4 4 5 
2 3 4 
80

24 
3×4×4 = 48
3 4 4 5 
2 3 4

3 4 4 5 
2 3 4

3 4 4 5 
2 3 4

3×4×4 = 48
3 4 4 5 
2 3 4 
1 
0 
80 
40 
24 
48 
48 
The number 0 appears.
3 4 4 5 
2 3 4 
1 
0 
80 
40 
24 
48 
48 
240 
Now, calculate the sum of the numbers on the 
right-hand side. In this case, the sum is 
80 + 40 + 24 + 48 + 48 = 240. 
There is an interesting fact. Can you find it? 
+
Now, calculate the product of the numbers that you 
chose at first. In this case, I chose the numbers 3, 4, 4 
and 5 at first, so the product is 
3 4 4 5 
2 3 4 
1 
0 
80 
40 
24 
48 
48 
240 
3×4×4×5 = 240. 
That’s interesting, isn’t it? 
+
If it is interesting for you, change the numbers and try 
again. 
Thank you for watching!!
