    Grant says 49141. He was right if he added that "1" in "49". Then it would have been 5041.

    • @tuchapoltr
      @tuchapoltr 4 роки тому +30

      He was also most likely doing the same thing that child was doing: multiplying from left to right (hence why he started with 7 x 7 = 49 ...), just that he accidently added an extra zero and did 49000 + 141 rather than 4900 + 141

    • @MCLooyverse
      @MCLooyverse 4 роки тому +16

      Yup. I would imagine he did 4900 + 140 + 1, which he turned into 49141 instead of 5041.

    What grant says at 6:14 hits home with me. I never learned short/long division, adding in columns or any of those normal methods of arithmetic. I learned and taught myself a variety of more intuitive methods and flew through high school and University maths. I relented recently while teaching a year 5 class and the numbers were just so that I didn’t have any tricks that would work. I used short division for the first time last Saturday (I picked it up from looking over students shoulders).

    @Hslifelearner 4 роки тому

    for some numbers like 71 ... it is very helpful to know that difference of square of consecutive numbers is just the sum of those numbers. So, 71^2 = 71^2-70^2 + 70^2 = (71+70) + 4900 = 5041.

    2. Gray's Anatomy - that esteemed medical tome - was dedicated by its author Henry Gray to Brodie.
    3. He was a president of the Royal Society (1858-1861).

    • @StGSteve
      @StGSteve 4 роки тому +5

      It actually could be the right answer though! 491 could be 49 plus the carry 1 , which makes it 50. So 49141 is 5041.

    • @williamyue7342
      @williamyue7342 4 роки тому +6

      Grant did the right calculations in his head, though. He should've added the first 1 in 141 into the 49 to get 50, so 5041.
      He likely did it by 71*71=(70+1)*(70+1)=70^2+2*70+1=4900+140+1. The other method is to use difference of squares 71^2-1^2=(71-1)(71+1)=70*72, so 71^2=1+70*72.

    71 × 71 [XY x AB]
    7 × 7 = 49, 1 × 1 = 1 [X x A] [ Y x B]
    49 _ _ _ 1
    (7 × 1) + (1×7) [(X x B) + (Y x A)]
    14 (put this in the middle of 49 and 1
    49 14 1
    Add 1 in front of "14" to 49
    ie because 1 is carried over to 49 or (49 + 1)
    You get 5041

      There's two schools of thought on this apparently. On the one hand the gloves protect the paper from the oils on your skin, on the other hand they reduce sensitivity so you're more likely to cause mechanical damage. It depends on the curator's judgement as to which they think is the bigger risk.
