Multiplication Table can be set to any multipliers between 3 and 20. Just click the + or - button to change the table. Use the mouse pointer or arrow keys to move from square to square and the multipliers in the top row and left column will be highlighted. You can lock and unlock the highlight by clicking the mouse.

  1. 1 2 3 1 3 2 of Example 25 in the cycle notation is written as (23). We can combine two such permutations: (12)(23) which means that we rst permute 2 and 3: 1 2 3 7!1 3 2 and then we permute 1 and 2: 1 3 2 7!2 3 1. Let us look next at the group S 3.
  2. The 3 tens to the tens column. Then multiply the tens, adding the 3 regrouped tens. Write 5 in the tens place and regroup the 1 hundred. Then multiply the hundreds, adding the regrouped hundred. Write 9 in the hundreds place.

This is a complete lesson with explanations and exercises about the standard algorithm of multiplication (multiplying in columns), meant for fourth grade. First, the lesson explains (step-by-step) how to multiply a two-digit number by a single-digit number, then has exercises on that. Next, the lesson shows how to multiply how to multiply a three or four-digit number, and has lots of exercises on that. there are also many word problems to solve.

Multiplication

The standard algorithm of multiplication is based on the principle that you already know: multiplying in parts (partial products): simply multiply ones and tens separately, and add.

However, in the standard way the adding is done at the same time as multiplying. The calculation looks more compact and takes less space than the “easy way to multiply” you have learned.

Note that 25 tens

In the 'easy way,' we multiply in parts, and the adding is done separately.

How To Do Long Multiplication

Long multiplication means you're doing multiplication by hand. The traditional method, or Standard Algorithm, involves multiplying numbers and lining up results according to place value. These are the steps to do long multiplication by hand:

  1. Arrange the numbers one on top of the other and line up the place values in columns. The number with the most digits is usually placed on top as the multiplicand.
  2. Starting with the ones digit of the bottom number, the multiplier, multiply it by the last digit in the top number
  3. Write the answer below the equals line
  4. If that answer is greater than nine, write the ones place as the answer and carry the tens digit
  5. Proceed right to left. Multiply the ones digit of the bottom number to the next digit to the left in the top number. If you carried a digit, add it to the result and write the answer below the equals line. If you need to carry again, do so.
  6. When you've multiplied the ones digit by every digit in the top number, move to the tens digit in the bottom number.
  7. Multiply as above, but this time write your answers in a new row, shifted one digit place to the left.
  8. When you finish multiplying, draw another answer line below your last row of answer numbers.
  9. Use long addition to add your number columns from right to left, carrying as you normally do for long addition.

Long Multiplication with Decimals

Long multiplication with decimals using the standard algorithm has a few simple additional rules to follow.

  1. Count the total number of decimal places contained in both the multiplicand and the multiplier.
  2. Ignore the decimals and right align the numbers one on top of the other as if they were integers
  3. Multiply the numbers using long multiplication.
  4. Insert a decimal point in the product so it has the same number of decimal places equal to the total from step 1.

Example Long Multiplication with Decimals

Multiply 45.2 by 0.21

There's 3 total decimal places in both numbers.

Ignore the decimal places and complete the multiplication as if operating on two integers.

Rewrite the product with 3 total decimal places.

Answer = 9.492

Therefore: 45.2 × 0.21 = 9.492

Long Multiplication with Negative Numbers

When performing long multiplication you can ignore the signs until you have completed the standard algorithm for multiplication. Once you complete the multiplication follow these two rules:

  1. If one number is positive and one number is negative make the product negative.
  2. If both numbers are negative or both numbers are positive make the product positive.

Long Multiplication Example: Multiply 234 by 56

Long Multiplication Steps:
Stack the numbers with the larger number on top. Align the numbers by place value columns.

Multiply the ones digit in the bottom number by each digit in the top number
6 × 4 = 24
Put the 4 in Ones place
Carry the 2 to Tens place

6 × 3 = 18

Put the 0 in the Tens place
Carry the 2 to the Hundreds place

6 × 2 = 12
Add the 2 that you carried = 14
This is the last number to multiply so write the whole number answer. No need to carry the 1.

Move one place to the left. Multiply the tens digit in the bottom number by each digit in the top number.

Add a row to your multiplication answer
When you write your answer, shift one column to the left
Put the 0 in Ones place
Carry the 2 to Tens place

5 × 2 = 10

This is the last number to multiply so write the whole number answer. No need to carry the 1.

Add the numbers in the columns using long addition
4 + 0 = 4
0 + 0 = 0
4 + 7 = 11
write the 1 and carry 1
1 + 1 + 1 = 3

Once you add the columns you can see the long multiplication result: 234 × 56 = 13104.
