How to Multiply a 2-Digit Number by a Single Digit
How to Multiply a 2-Digit number by a Single Digit
Step 1) Multiply the ones digit of the 2-digit number by the single digit.
- Write the number of ones below the line in the ones place.
- Carry over any tens and write them above the number in the tens place.
5 x 7 = 35. Write the 5 below the line in the ones place. Carry over 3 tens.
Step 2) Multiply the tens digit of the 2-digit number by the single digit, adding on any tens that you carried over.
- Write the number below the line in the tens place (or in the hundreds and tens place if the answer has 2 digits).
5 x 3 = 15. 15 + 3 = 18. Write the 1 in the hundreds place and 8 in the tens place below the line.
You should now have your final answer.
37 x 5 = 185.
