Abstract

We present an algorithm of multiplication natural numbers a and b based on successive addition of multiples of a with powers of 2 not exceeded the number b. This algorithm is much more economical than successive addition of b-1 sums of the number a and, contrary to the classical multiplication, one need not use the multiplication table.
