Multiply a Number by a
2-Digit Numbers

How to multiply a number by a 2-digit numbers?

We shall revise here to multiply 2-digit and 3-digit numbers by a 2-digit number (multiplier) as well as learn another procedure for the multiplication of 3-digit, 4-digit, etc., numbers by a 2-digit multiplier.

I. Example to multiply 2-digit numbers by a 2-digit numbers:

Multiply 63 by 14

Solution:

(i) First Method

63 x 14

= (60 + 3) × (10 + 4) 63 = 60 + 3 14 = 10 + 4

= (60 + 3) × 10 + (60 + 3) × 4

= (600 + 30) + (240 + 12)

= 630 + 252

= 882

or, 63 × 14 = (60 + 3) (10 + 4)

                = (60 + 3) x 4 + (60 + 3) x l0

                = (240 +12) + (600 + 30)

                = 252 + 630

                = 882

(ii) Second Method

$Multiply 2-digit by 2-digit Numbers$

(a) 4 × 3 ones = 12 ones

(b) 4 × 6 tens = 24 tens = 240 ones

(c) 1 ten × 3 ones = 3 tens = 30 ones

(d) 1 ten = 10 × 6 tens = 10 × 60 ones = 600 ones

(iii) Third Method

$Multiply 2-digit by 2-digit Numbers$

(a) 14 = (10 + 4)

(b) 63 × 4 = 252

(c) 63 × 10 = 630

(iv) Fourth Method

$multiply a number by a 2 digit number$

(a) 14 = 4 ones + 1 ten

(b) 63 × 4 ones = 252 ones

(c) 63 × 1 ten = 63 tens

(Generally the fourth method is adopted)

II. Example to multiply 3-digit numbers by a 2-digit numbers:

1. Multiply 456 x 43

Solution:

(i) First Method

$Multiply 3-digit by 2-digit Numbers$

(a) 43 = 3 + 40

(b) 456 × 3 = 1368

(c) 456 × 40 = 18240

Therefore, 456 × 43 = 19608

(ii) Second Method

$Multiply 3-digit by 2-digit Numbers$

(a) 43 = 3 ones + 4 tens

(b) 456 × 3 ones = 1368 ones

(c) 456 × 4 tens = 1824 tens

Hence, Product = 19608

2. Find the product of 165 and 45.

$Multiply 3-digit by 2-digit Numbers$

→ 40 + 5

Multiply by 5

Multiply by 40

Add the two products

Answer: 7290

3. Multiply 687 and 23.

Solution:

Step I: Arrange the numbers vertically.

Step II: Multiply 687 by 3 ones

687 × 3 = 2061

Step III: Multiply 687 by 2 tens

687 × 20 = 13740

Step IV: Add 2061 and 13740

2061 + 13740 = 15801

$Multiply 3-digit Numbers by a 2-digit Numbers$

Hence, 687 × 23 = 15801

III. Example to multiply 4-digit numbers by a 2-digit numbers:

1. Multiply 3157 x 56

Solution:

(i) First Method

$Multiply 4-digit by 2-digit Numbers$

(a) 56 = 6 + 50

(b) 3157 × 6 = 18942

(c) 3157 × 50 = 157850

(ii) Second Method

$Multiply 4-digit by 2-digit Numbers$

(a) 56 = 6 ones + 5 tens

(b) 3157 × 6 ones = 18942 ones

(c) 3157 × 5 tens = 15785 tens

Hence, Product = 176792

2. Multiply: 1793 × 25

$Multiply 4-digit by 2-digit Numbers$

→ 20 + 5

Multiply by 5

Multiply by 20

Answer: 44825
