Multiply Greater Numbers

This topic deals with the concept of multiplication of greater numbers by 1-digit numbers, and 2-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. We also learn to multiply greater numbers using the Partial-Products method.

Topic: Multiplication by 1-Digit Numbers

  • The symbol x and * are both used to indicate multiplication

  • To multiply greater numbers by 1 digit number, first multiply the ones, then the tens, and then the hundreds by the one digit number

  • If the product is greater than 9, we need to regroup

  • 14 ones is equal to 1 tens and 4 ones. 14 tens is equal to 1 hundreds and 4 tens. 14 hundreds is equal to 1 thousands and 4 hundreds

Topic: Partial-Products Method

  • In the Partial Products Method, we need to keep track of the place value of each digit

  • To multiply a 2 digit number by another 2 digit number using the Partial Products Method, split both the numbers into two parts and then multiply all the parts

  • To multiply a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number using the Partial Products Method, split the 3-digit number into three parts. Multiply all the separately by the 1-digit number and then add the three products

  • Add all the partial products to get the final product
