Multiply a Number
How to multiply a number by 10, 100.....?
When we multiply a number by 10, the value of the number increases and the digits of the number move one place to the left on the place value chart.
(a) 24 × 10
2 4 × 1 0 = 2 4 0
(b) 372 × 10
3 7 2 × 1 0 = 3 7 2 0
Similarly, on multiplying by 100, the value of the number increases and the digits of the number move two places to the left on the place value chart.
(a) 36 × 100
3 6 × 1 0 0 = 3 6 0 0
(b) 493 × 100
4 9 3 × 1 0 0 = 4 9 3 0 0
The number of places the digits shift is equal to the number of zeros in the multiplier.
Multiply by 10 — digits shift one place to the left.
Multiply by 100 — digits shift two places to the left.
Multiply by 1000 — digits shift three places to the left.
