All they are doing is counting the points of intersection for each digit....such as the hundreds, tens, ones.

I almost put your name on the the title. Figured you would be the first to comment on this.

Why not just use a calculator???

For those occasions where you do not have a calculator handy.

This is just a very simple way to describe what you are really doing when you multiply numbers the conventional way.

Seems easier to just multiply the old way.
Try 999 x 999

There is an even faster method....

999 x 999 = (1000 x 1000) - (2 x 1000) + 1
= 1000000 - 2000 + 1
= 998001
