Multiplying by 2 digits By Laura Sloan
ones tens The first step is to make sure numbers are lined up correctly. 37 x 52
2 x 7 = 14 1 37 x 52 4 Begin with multiplying the bottom number ones place with the top number ones place. Because there is still the tens place to multiply, you need to carry the 1.
Next, multiply the number in the ones place and the number in the tens place. Then, remember to add your carry of 1. Think, 2x3=6+1=7 37 x 52 74 1
Put down your PURSE! Now it is time to:
37 x 52 74 0 Next, because we are going to the next place value (tens), we need to use a 0 {a purse} for a place holder. Place the 0 under the 4 in the answer.
Multiply the 5 in the tens place with the 7 in the ones place. The answer will go under the 7 in the tens place. 3 37 x 52 74 50 Because there is still the tens place to multiply, you need to carry the 3.
Multiply the 5 in the tens place with the 3 in the tens place. The answer will go in the hundreds place. 3 37 x 52 74 1850
37 x 52 74 + 1850 1,924 Finally, add the two product lines to find the final product. Follow all rules for addition. 1
