Here are some examples with step by step instructions:
2 digit by 1 digit multiplication examples:
Example 1:
23
x 27
161
Step 1: 3 multiplied by 7 equals 21
Step 2: Write down the 1 and carry the 2.
Step 3: 2 multiplied by 7 equals 14 and add on the number that you carried up (which is 2).
So 14 + 2 = 16
Answer : 161.
Example 2:
4 5
x36
270
Step 1: 5 multiplied by 6 equals 30.
Step 2: Write down the 0 and carry the 3.
Step 3: 4 multiplied by 6 equals 24 and add on the number you carried (which is 3).
So 24 + 3 = 27. Answer = 270
Sometimes we don’t have to carry on a number.
Example below.
2 3
X 3
6 9
Step 1: 3 X 3 =9
Step 2: 2 X 3 = 6
Answer : 69
Another example is when there is a zero.
7 0
X 5
350
Step 1: 0 X 5 =0
Step 2: 7 X 5 =35
Answer: 350
