Vertical Multiplication

Vertical multiplication is a method used to multiply numbers by aligning them vertically, with one number on top of the other. This layout makes it easier to multiply digits step by step, especially when dealing with multi-digit numbers.

Steps for Vertical Multiplication:

Solving Vertical Multiplication is easy when following these steps:

1. Write the Numbers Vertically:
Place the larger number on top and the smaller number below it, aligning the digits by their place values.

Vertical Multiplication - write the number

2. Multiply Each Digit:
Start by multiplying the bottom number’s rightmost digit (ones place) with each digit of the top number. Write the results below, ensuring they are aligned properly.

Vertical Multiplication - first digit

3. Add the Carry:
If the product of two digits exceeds 9, write down the ones place and carry the tens place to the next digit.

Vertical Multiplication - add the carry

4. Shift for Place Value:
When moving to the next digit of the bottom number, shift the results one place to the left (to account for place value).

Vertical Multiplication - shift the place

5. Add the Results:
After multiplying with all digits of the bottom number, add the rows of partial products to find the final result.

Vertical Multiplication - add the results

Important rules to keep in mind

Learn the multiplication tables thoroughly and follow these rules:

First rule

Write down the exercise correctly:
The ones under the ones, the tens under the tens, and the hundreds under the hundreds.
The number with more digits will be written above the one with fewer digits.

Second rule

When the product is greater than 99 it is stored at the top left and must be remembered to add it to the next result.

Third rule

Before moving on to multiply the next digit, the "numbers stored" at the top left must be erased to avoid confusion.

Fourth rule

We will add a 00 below the result to indicate that we have moved to the next digit, each row of results will start one place to the left in relation to the previous row.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll employ vertical multiplication.

Step 1: Set up the multiplication:
        62 62
×       4 4
      ---------

Step 2: Multiply each digit of 62 by 4. We start with the ones place, then the tens place.

  • Multiply the ones digit: 2×4=8 2 \times 4 = 8 .
  • Multiply the tens digit: 6×4=24 6 \times 4 = 24 .

Step 3: Consider the place value for each part of the calculation:
The result from multiplying the tens digit by 4 represents 240 240 because it is 24×10 24 \times 10 .

Step 4: Add the two partial results:
         8
+ 240
      ---------
      248

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 248 248 .

Exercise #3

304x

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We will solve the problem using direct multiplication of the two numbers, 30 and 4.

Steps:

  • First, multiply the one's place of 30 by 4:
    0×4=0 0 \times 4 = 0

  • Second, multiply the ten's place of 30 by 4:
    3×4=12 3 \times 4 = 12

  • The result from the tens multiplication is over the magnitude of the number 30 (since it's in the tens place), so we already account for place by multiplying 3 by 4 directly forming a product 12, no tens digit carries from one's digit.

  • Combine these results to get the total product:
    0+120=120 0 + 120 = 120

Therefore, the product of 3030 and 44 is 120 \mathbf{120} .

By referencing the multiple-choice options provided, the correct choice matches the calculation we performed and is choice 3: 120120.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll perform vertical multiplication of 82 82 by 2 2 :

  • Step 1: Multiply the ones place. Multiply 2 2 (from 82) by 2 2 :

2×2=4 2 \times 2 = 4
This gives us 4 4 in the ones place.

  • Step 2: Multiply the tens place. Multiply 8 8 (in the tens place of 82) by 2 2 :

8×2=16 8 \times 2 = 16
Since the result is 16 16 , we place 6 6 in the tens place and carry over 1 1 to the next higher place (hundreds place).

  • Step 3: Add up the intermediate results.

The ones place has 4 4 , and the tens place has 6 6 plus 1 1 (carry-over), totaling to 7 7 in the tens place. Thus, the full number now reads:

164 164

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 164 164 .

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the multiplication problem 64×664 \times 6, we'll perform the following steps:

  • Step 1: Break down 6464 into tens and units. So, 6464 can be written as 60+460 + 4.
  • Step 2: Multiply each component separately by 66.
  • Step 3: Calculate 60×660 \times 6 and 4×64 \times 6 separately.

Exercise #7

773x

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps to multiply 7777 by 33:

First, set up the numbers for vertical multiplication:

77×3\begin{array}{c} & 77 \\ \times & \,\,3 \\ \hline \end{array}

  • Step 1: Multiply the units:
  • 7×3=217 \times 3 = 21

    Write down 11 and carry over 22.

  • Step 2: Multiply the tens:
  • 7×3=217 \times 3 = 21

    Add the carry-over 22, resulting in 2323.

    Write down 2323 as there are no more digits to multiply.

Combining both steps, we find the product of 7777 and 33 is:
