Question

1. How can you multiply the given factors/ numbers correctly?

2. What are the ways multiply two - digit factor of the given numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Multiplying two whole numbers gives a product. The numbers that we multiply are the factors of the product. Example: 3 × 5 = 15 therefore, 3 and 5 are the factors of 15.

2. To multiply two 2-digit numbers without showing work, first multiply the ones digits together, then 'cross-multiply,' and finally multiply the tens digits together. Make sure to carry whenever a product exceeds 9. As you will see in the examples below, you must work your way from right to left to perform this trick.
