The last calculation is on the leading zero of the multiplicand. Let the first factor be called the multiplicand. Suppose for simplicity that the multiplicand has three digits. Find the product of the multiplier and the tens-digits of the multiplicand. If executing multiply instructions, a 3 X multiplicand is generated. The ones-digits of the multiplicand and multiplier form a column&colon; the ones-column. The ones-digit of the multiplicand is 9 and the multiplier is 3. The two numbers being multiplied together are called "factors", with "multiplicand" and "multiplier" also used. The hundreds-digit of the multiplicand is 7, while the multiplier is 3. Thus the designation of multiplier and multiplicand does not affect the result of the multiplication. The rods for the multiplicand are similar to Napier's Bones, with repetitions of the values. The multiplicand is 789 and the ones-multiplier is 5. The multiplicand is 789 and the tens-multiplier is 4. Therefore, in some sources, the term "multiplicand" is regarded as a synonym for "factor". The multiplicand is once again 789, and the hundreds-multiplier is 3.
