	 	| Question : |  
	 		| What is an 'Abridged Multiplication' ? |  
	 	| Answer :
 |  
	 		    | This is a process 
                  of multiplying where you drop a digit of the multiplier after 
                  each multiplication. You only drop such digits which do not 
                  affect the degree of accuracy desired. If in a product you need 
                  only two decimal place accuracy, you only need to retain the 
                  third place throughout the multiplication. |  |
