So the idea is to simply add up the numbers according to their place value, as in elementary school?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there a faster way?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

umm, nope!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Btw, yes we can add them up like in elementary school.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good. now I'll need to know subtraction, multiplication, and division.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm really worried about the division part
