Best Answer

By shifting the digits 1 the same number of columns as zeros in the multiplier (eg × 100 has 2 zeros, so shift 2 columns) to the left.

On paper this is much easier to do by considering the effect on the decimal point, which is to move it the same number of digits as zero in the multiplier to the right. (If you run out of digits, remember that an empty place value column is the same as it containing a zero, so you can then add extra zeros until the decimal point has moved enough places.)

List the features of Pascaline?

The Pascaline was designed and worked by the French mathematician-rationalist Blaise Pascal somewhere in the range of 1642 and 1644. It could only do addition and subtraction by manipulating its dials to enter numbers. The Pascaline was equipped for numerical activities, for example, adding, deducting, and conveying 10s, 100s, and 1000s.
