Step 1

                                          
  The first step is to place number 316
on the abacus.
To place a number when you multiply,
leave as many free columns on the right
of the abacus as many are the digits of
the multiplier.
Here, the multiplier, 4, has one digit, so
leave one free column on the right of the
abacus and then place the multiplicand
316.
