Multiplying large numbers by splitting Have a look at the following equation: 255 x 5
Multiplying large numbers by splitting First split the number into hundreds, tens and ones. 255 splits into 200, 50 and 5
Multiplying large numbers by splitting Then, multiply each of the numbers by 5.5 x 200 = 1 0005 x 50 = 2505 x 5 = 25
Multiplying large numbers by splitting This method can be represented in a grid, as shown below.
+ + Multiplying large numbers by splitting Finally, add the three numbers together to get your answer.
Multiplying large numbers by splitting So 255 x 5 = 1,275 Remember: check the answer by doing the opposite!1,275 ÷ 5 = 255
Multiplying large numbers by splitting Now have a look at this equation: 255 x 25
Multiplying large numbers by splitting First split the number into hundreds, tens and ones. 255 splits into 200, 50 and 5 (these go along the top) 25 splits into 20 and 5 (these go along the sides)
Multiplying large numbers by splitting Then, multiply each number in the column by each number in the row. Have a look at the grid below.
+ + Multiplying large numbers by splitting Add up each column, then add the resulting numbers together.
Multiplying large numbers by splitting So 255 x 25 = 6,375 Remember: check the answer by doing the opposite!6,375 ÷ 25 = 255
