Using VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE you do not need to the multiplication tables beyond 5 X 5.

* Suppose you need 8 x 7

8 is 2 below 10 and 7 is 3 below 10.
Think of it like this:

The answer is 56.
The diagram below shows how you get it.
8 2
7 3
-------------------
5 6
You subtract crosswise 8-3 or 7 - 2 to get 5,
the first figure of the answer.
And you multiply vertically: 2 x 3 to get 6,
the last figure of the answer.
