before i get started here's a helper fact: the finger counting is left to right. Like reading. Easy. Put up all your fingers. Look at them...look at them....now if your problem is 9 * 3. Then you would put down your third finger counting from the left. You should see now 2 fingers. then a space (the third finger you put down) and then 7 other fingers. Put those numbers together and....27! 9 * 3 = 27! Next example. 9 * 7. Put your hand up again. And put down your 7th finger down. counting from the left. You should see now 6 fingers. then a space (the 7th finger you put down) and then 3 other fingers. Put those numbers together and....63! 9 * 7 = 63! Now try some other numbers! It only goes up to 10 though. 11 * 9 = 99 and 12 * 9 = 108!

Many often have difficulty counting, however with this simple technique you can always figure out what number comes after 9 on the numbers list. First start by counting each finger on your hand starting with the index finger if you are in North America, or the thumb if you are in Europe and start counting. The next number after 9 should be on the pinky which is 10! The number after 9 is 10.

The finger counting trick is a method where each finger represents a number from 1 to 10. By using fingers to keep track of numbers, you can quickly solve math problems by adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing without needing to write down the numbers. This technique can help with mental math and make calculations faster and more efficient.
In many Asian cultures, the practice of counting from the pinky finger stems from traditional beliefs and cultural significance associated with the fingers. The pinky is often seen as the starting point for gestures and communication, representing a foundation for counting. This method also aligns with certain linguistic structures in some Asian languages, where counting and gestures are intertwined. Additionally, using the pinky first can help avoid confusion in group settings, as the hand is often oriented toward others.
