Explanation
Step 1:
Take half of the first number.
Step 2:
Take half of the second number.
Step 3:
Concatenate the two halves (treating them as digits).
Let's verify with the given examples:
-
6 × 2:
Half of 6 is 3 and half of 2 is 1. Concatenating these gives 31.
-
8 × 4:
Half of 8 is 4 and half of 4 is 2. Concatenating these gives 42.
-
2 × 2:
Half of 2 is 1 and half of 2 is 1. Concatenating these gives 11.
-
6 × 6:
Half of 6 is 3 and half of 6 is 3. Concatenating these gives 33.
Now, apply the same logic to 8 × 6:
-
Half of 8 is 4.
-
Half of 6 is 3.
When you concatenate 4 and 3, you get 43.
Thus, the answer to 8 × 6 = 43.
