Double/Double or Double/Double/Double

Are you multiplying by 4 or 8? 


Dividing by 4 or 8?


If you are multiplying by 4, think double/double.

So... 6 X 4? 

(No expense spared here at the RUGS Blog for our state of the art graphics.)

Double 6 = 12 and double 12 = 24. 

So 6 x 4 = 24.

4 x 8?

If you are multiplying by 8, think double/double/double.

Double 4 = 8 and double 8 = 16 and double 16 = 32. 

So 4 x 8 = 32.

If you are dividing by 4, think half/half.

So... 24 divided by 4? 

half of 24 is 12 and half of 12 is 6 

24 divided by 4 is 6

If you are dividing by 8, think half/half/half.

So... 24 divided by 8? 

half of 24 is 12 and half of 12 is 6 and half of 6 is 3

24 divided by 8 is 3
