Multiplying 3-Digit Number by 1-Digit Number

Here we will learn multiplying 3-digit number by 1-digit number.

In two different types we will learn to multiply a three-digit number by a one-digit number.


A. Multiplication of 3-digit Number by 1-digit Number without Regrouping:

1. Multiply 201 by 3

Step I: Arrange the numbers vertically.

Step II: Multiply the digit at the ones place by 3.

1 × 3 = 3 ones

Step III: Now multiply the digit at the tens place by 3.

0 × 3 = 0 tens

Step IV: Now multiply the digit at the hundreds place by 3.

2 × 3 = 6 hundreds

Multiplying 3-Digit Number by 1-Digit Number

Thus, 201 × 3 = 603


2. Multiply 221 by 2.

               H     T     O

               2     2      1

                     ×      2

               4     4      2

First-Multiply ones by 2.

2 × 1 = 2. write 2 under O.

Then-Multiply tens by 2.

2 × 2 = 4, write 4 under T.

At last-Multiply hundreds by 2.

2 × 2 = 4. write 4 under H


Thus, 221 × 2 = 442


MULTIPLICATION OF A 3-DIGIT NUMBER BY A 1-DIGIT NUMBER WITHOUT REGROUPING:

3. Let us multiply 132 by 3.

Write the numbers one below the other as shown.

3-Digit by 1-Digit Multiplication

3 tens × 3 = 9 tens

Write 9 in the tens place.


Step III: Multiply the hundreds digit by 3.

1 hundred × 3 = 3 hundreds

Write 3 in the hundreds place.


The product is 396.


Word Problems on Multiplication of a 3-digit Number by a 1-digit Number Without Regrouping:

4. Nairitee used 134 beads in a necklace. How many beads will she be used to make 2 necklaces?

134 × 2 = ?

Multiply Once Place

Step I: Arrange the numbers in correct columns.

Multiply the digit in the ones place by 2.

4 ones × 2 = 4 × 2 = 8 or 8 ones

Write 8 in the ones column.

Multiply Tens Place

Step II: Multiply the digit in the tens place by 2.

3 tens × 2 = 30 × 2 = 60 or 6 tens

Write 6 in the tens column.

Multiply Hundreds Place

Step III: Multiply the digit in the hundreds place by 2.

1 hundred × 2 = 100 × 2 = 200 or 2 hundreds

Write 2 in the hundreds column.

So, 134 × 2 = 268

Thus, she will use 268 beads.


You know how we multiply two digit number by one digit number. In the same way we can multiply 3-digit number by one digit number.

5. Multiply 243 by 2.

Solution:

Multiply each place in turn. Start with ones place.

3-Digits by 1-Digit Multiplication

Step I: 3 × 2 = 6 Ones

           Write 6 in ones column

            Write 4 in hundreds column

The product = 486


B. Multiplication of 3-digit Number by 1-digit Number with Regrouping:

1. Multiply 246 by 4

Step I: Arrange the numbers vertically.

Step II: Multiply the digit at the ones place by 4.

6 × 4 = 24 = 2 tens + 4 ones

Write 4 in the ones column and carry over 2 to the tens column

Step III: Now multiply the digit at the tens place by 4.

4 × 4 = 16 tens

Now, 16 + 2 (carry over) = 18 tens = 1 hundred + 8 tens

Step IV: Now multiply the digit at the hundreds place by 4.

2 × 4 = 8 hundreds

Now, 8 + 1 (carry over) = 9 hundred

Multiplying 3-Digit Number by 1-Digit Number with Regrouping

Thus, 246 × 4 = 984


2. Multiply 453 by 6.

Step I: Arrange the numbers vertically.

Step II: Multiply the digit at the ones place by 6.

6 × 3 = 18 = 1 tens + 8 ones

Write 8 in the ones column and carry over 1 to the tens column

Step III: Now multiply the digit at the tens place by 6.

6 × 5 = 30 tens

Now, 30 + 1 (carry over) = 31 tens = 3 hundred + 1 tens

Write 1 in the tens column and carry over 3 to the hundred column.

 

Step IV: Now multiply the digit at the hundreds place by 6.

6 × 4 = 24 hundreds

Now, 24 + 3 (carry over) = 27 hundreds = 2 thousands and 7 hundreds.

Write 7 at the tens place and 2 at the thousands place.

Multiply 3-digit Number by a 1-digit Number with Regrouping

Carry 1 ten. 6 × 2 = 12 + 1 = 13

13 = 1 hundred + 3 tens.

write 3 under T.

Carry 1 hundred. 2 × 1 = 2 + 1 = 3

write 3 under H.


4. Multiply 294 by 4.

Step I: Align the digits:

      Th     H     T     O

               2     9    4

                     ×      4

                                

Step II: Multiply ones.

4 ones × 4 = 16 ones 1 tens 6 ones.

Write 6 below ones place and carry 1 to the tens place.

      Th     H     T     O

                      1

               2     9      4

                     ×      4

                              6

9 tens × 4 = 36 tens.

36 tens + 1 tens (carried)

= 37 tens

3 hundreds + 7 tens

Write 7 below tens place and carry over 3 to the hundreds place.

      Th     H     T     O

               3     1

               2     9      4

                     ×      4

                      7      6

Step IV: Multiply hundreds. 

2 hundreds × 4 = 8 hundreds.

8 hundreds + 3 hundreds (carried) 

= 11 hundreds

Write 1 in hundreds place and 1 in thousands place.

      Th     H     T     O

               3     1

               2     9      4

                     ×      4

        1     1     7      6

Hence, 294 by 4 = 1,176


5. Multiply 239 by 8.

Step I: 

      Th     H     T     O

               2     3    9
