Long Multiplication Lecture Notes

Introduction

  • Focus on long multiplication technique
  • Practical examples to illustrate the process

Example 1: 39 x 8

  • Step 1: Multiply 8 by 9
    • 8 x 9 = 72
    • Write down 2, carry over 7
  • Step 2: Multiply 8 by 3
    • 8 x 3 = 24
    • Add carried over 7: 24 + 7 = 31
  • Final Answer: 312

Example 2: 56 x 9

  • Step 1: Multiply 9 by 6
    • 9 x 6 = 54
    • Write down 4, carry over 5
  • Step 2: Multiply 9 by 5
    • 9 x 5 = 45
    • Add carried over 5: 45 + 5 = 50
  • Final Answer: 504

Example 3: 46 x 27

  • Step 1: Multiply 7 by 6
    • 7 x 6 = 42
    • Write down 2, carry over 4
  • Step 2: Multiply 7 by 4
    • 7 x 4 = 28
    • Add carried over 4: 28 + 4 = 32
