Worked examples
One digit
- 114 × 5 = ?
- 114 × 5: 4 × 5 = 20, write 0, carry 2.
- 1 × 5 = 5 and 2 more is 7, then 1 × 5 = 5.
- 570.
- So the answer is 570.
Two digits
- 75 × 62 = ?
- 75 × 2 = 150.
- 75 × 60 = 4500, with a zero to start the tens row.
- 150 + 4500 = 4650.
- So the answer is 4650.
A big number
- 5154 × 9 = ?
- Multiply each digit by 9, ones first.
