Solve the Multiplication Problem: Calculate 4 × 53

To make solving easier, we break down 53 into more comfortable numbers, preferably round ones.

We obtain:

$4\times(50+3)=$

We multiply 2 by each of the terms inside the parentheses:

$(4\times50)+(4\times3)=$

We solve the exercises inside the parentheses and obtain:

$200+12=212$
