Multiplication by 1-digit number

Multiplying a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number

Multiplying a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number without carrying is straightforward because each product of the digits stays within single digits. Here’s how to do it:

 Example: Multiply 23 by 3

1. Break Down the Number:
– The 2-digit number 23 can be split into 20 (tens place) and 3 (ones place).

2. **Multiply Each Part Separately:**
– Multiply the digit in the tens place by the 1-digit number:
20 times 3 = 60
– Multiply the digit in the ones place by the 1-digit number:
3 times 3 = 9

3. Add the Results:
– Add the two products together:
60 + 9 = 69

So, 23 times 3 = 69

Multiplying a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number

Multiplying a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number without carrying follows a similar process to the 2-digit case but with an extra step. You multiply each digit of the 3-digit number separately by the 1-digit number and then add the results.

 Example: Multiply 231 by 2

1. Break Down the Number:
– The 3-digit number 231 can be split into 200 (hundreds place), 30 (tens place), and 1 (ones place).

2. Multiply Each Part Separately:
– Multiply the hundreds digit by the 1-digit number:
200 times 2 = 400
– Multiply the tens digit by the 1-digit number:
30 times 2 = 60
– Multiply the ones digit by the 1-digit number:
1 times 2 = 2

3. Add the Results:
– Add the three products together:
400 + 60 + 2 = 462

So, 231 times 2 = 462.

Multiplying a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number( with regrouping and carrying)

Explaining multiplication with regrouping and carrying  in a simple, step-by-step way. Let’s break it down:

 Example: Multiply 23 by 4

1. Set Up the Problem:
– Write the 2-digit number (23) on top.
– Write the 1-digit number (4) underneath, lining it up with the ones place of 23.
– Draw a line under the numbers where you’ll write the answer.

                              23
                            × 4
                            —–

2. Multiply the Ones Place:
– Start by multiplying the digit in the ones place of 23 (which is 3) by 4.
– 3 times 4 = 12
– Write the 2 from 12 under the ones column, and carry the 1 (the “ten”) over to the next column.

                            23
                          × 4
                           —–
2 (write the 2 here)

3. Multiply the Tens Place:
– Now, multiply the digit in the tens place of 23 (which is 2) by 4.
– 2 times 4 = 8
– Don’t forget to add the 1 you carried over: 8 + 1 = 9
– Write the 9 under the tens column.

                             23
                           × 4
                           —–
                            92

4. Final Answer:
– The numbers in the answer line (92) are the result of multiplying 23 by 4.
– So, 23 times 4 = 92.

 Key Points :
– Carrying means moving the extra number from one column to the next.
– Regrouping happens when the product is 10 or more. You write down the ones digit and carry over the tens digit to the next column.
– Always start multiplying with the ones place, then move to the tens place.

Multiplying a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number( with regrouping and carrying)

Multiplying a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number with regrouping and carrying can be explained in simple steps. Here’s how you can do it:

 Example: Multiply 243 by 5

1. Set Up the Problem:
– Write the 3-digit number (243) on top.
– Write the 1-digit number (5) underneath, lining it up with the ones place of 243.
– Draw a line under the numbers where you’ll write the answer.


                        243
                         × 5
                        —–

2. Multiply the Ones Place:
– Start by multiplying the digit in the ones place of 243 (which is 3) by 5.
– 3 times 5 = 15
– Write down the 5 under the ones column, and carry the 1 (the “ten”) over to the next column.


                          243
                           × 5
                          —–
5 (write the 5 here)
“`

3. Multiply the Tens Place:
– Now, multiply the digit in the tens place of 243 (which is 4) by 5.
– 4 times 5 = 20
– Don’t forget to add the 1 you carried over: 20 + 1 = 21
– Write the 1 under the tens column and carry the 2 (the “twenty”) over to the next column.


                      243
                       × 5
                      —–
15 (write the 1 and carry the 2)

4. Multiply the Hundreds Place:
– Now, multiply the digit in the hundreds place of 243 (which is 2) by 5.
– 2 times 5 = 10
– Add the 2 you carried over: 10 + 2 = 12
– Write the 12 in the hundreds and thousands place.


                         243
                          × 5
                        —–
                        1215

5. Final Answer:
– The numbers in the answer line (1215) are the result of multiplying 243 by 5.
– So, 243 times 5 = 1215.

 Key Points :
– Carrying happens when the result of multiplying two digits is 10 or more. You write down the ones digit and carry over the tens digit to the next column.
– Regrouping is another word for carrying—moving the extra value to the next column.
– Always start multiplying from the right (ones place) and move to the left (tens, then hundreds).
