3 digit by 2 Digit Multiplication Examples
3 digit by 2 Digit Multiplication – Example 1
Find the product.
473 x 32
Explanation
Whenever we multiply a three digit Multiplicand with two digit Multiplier, we first multiply the Multiplicand with ones place of Multiplier, and then multiply Multiplicand with Tens place of the Multiplier.
Step I : Multiply Multiplicand with ones place of Multiplier.
i.e, 473 x 2 = 946
Step II : Multiply Multiplicand with tens place of Multiplier.
i.e, 473 x 3 = 1419
Since the Number obtained at Step II, has a Tens value, we add a “0” or “x” at the end of the answer obtained by multiplying Multiplicand with Tens place of the Multiplier.
Step III : Add both the numbers
Hence, 473 x 32 = 15136
3 digit by 2 Digit Multiplication – Example 2
Find the product.
741 x 45
Explanation
Whenever we multiply a three digit Multiplicand with two digit Multiplier, we first multiply the Multiplicand with ones place of Multiplier, and then multiply Multiplicand with Tens place of the Multiplier.
Step I : Multiply Multiplicand with ones place of Multiplier.
i.e, 741 x 5 = 3705
Step II : Multiply Multiplicand with tens place of Multiplier.
i.e, 741 x 4 = 2964
Since the Number obtained at Step II, has a Tens value, we add a “0” or “x” at the end of the answer obtained by multiplying Multiplicand with Tens place of the Multiplier.
Step III : Add both the numbers
Hence, 741 x 45 = 33345
