A Comparison of Two Methods of Column Addition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wheatley, Grayson H. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1976
Two methods of adding columns of single digits were compared in terms of the speed and accuracy with which sums are produced. The direct method (successive addition) was found to be better than the method of looking for combinations which sum to ten. (SD)

On Highest Common Factor and Least Common Multiple in the Secondary School Mathematics Curriculum.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Davies, H. B. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1980
Attention is drawn to an ancient Greek method for finding the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers. A link is established between this method and a well-known method of obtaining the highest common factor (HCF) numbers. This leads to consideration of some relationships between HCF and LCM.
