Multiplying by 3-Digit Number

5. Find the product of 528 and 378.

Step I: Arrange the numbers vertically.

Step II: Multiply 528 by 8

             528 × 8 = 4224

Step III: Multiply 528 by 70

               528 × 70 = 36960

Step IV: Multiply 528 by 300

              528 × 300 = 158400

Step V: Add: 4224, 36960 and 158400

            4224 + 36960 + 158400 = 199584

Multiplying by 3-Digit Number

Hence, 528 × 378 = 199584


6. Multiply 345 by 224.

Multiply 3-Digit by 3-Digit

The product is 77,280.

Step I: Multiply 345 by 4 ones.

345 × 4 = 1380 ones

             = 1380

Step II: Multiply 345 by 2 tens.

345 × 2 = 690 tens

             = 6900

Step III: Multiply 345 by 2 hundreds.

345 × 2 = 690 hundreds

            = 69000

Step IV: Add the products.


7. Multiply 625 by 124.

Solution:

124 = 100 + 20 + 4

We multiply 625 by 4, 20 and 100 respectively.

Finally, we add the results to get the required product.

3-Digit by 3-Digit Multiplication

Therefore, the product of 625 and 124 = 77,500.


III. Example to multiply 4-digit numbers by a 3-digit numbers:


8. Multiply 2437 by 324

Solution:

(i) First Method

multiplication by a 3-digit numbers

(a) 324 = 4 + 20 + 300

(b) 2437 × 4 = 9748

(c) 2437 × 20 = 48740

(d) 2437 × 300 = 731100

The product = 789588


(ii) Second Method

multiplication by a 3-digit numbers

(a) 324 = 4 ones + 2 tens + 3 hundreds

(b) 2437 × 4 ones = 9748 ones

(c) 2437 × 2 T = 4874 tens

(d) 2437 × 3 H = 7311 hundreds

The product = 789588

These are the examples discussed on multiplication of a 2-digit, 3-digit and 4-digit number by a 3-digit number.


9. Multiply 2345 by 142.

Multiply 4-Digit by a 3-Digit Numbers

The product is 3,32,990.

Step I: Multiply 2345 by 2 ones.

2345 × 2 = 4690 ones

               = 4690

Step II: Multiply 2345 by 4 tens.

2345 × 4 = 9380 tens

              = 93800

Step III: Multiply 2345 by 1 hundred.

2345 × 1 = 2345 hundreds

              = 234500

Step IV: Add the products.


10. Multiply 1519 and 402.

Solution:

402 = 400 + 0 + 2

We multiply 1519 by 2, 0 and 400 respectively.

Finally, we add the results to get the required product.

4-Digit by 3-Digit Multiplication

The product is 6,10,638.


11. Find the product of 2129 and 426.

426 = 400 + 20 + 6

We multiply 2129 by 6, 20 and 400 respectively.

Finally, we add the results to get the required product.

Multiply by 3-Digit Numbers

Therefore, 2129 × 426 = 9,06,954
