Question

What is 73 x 42 I need to know

Answer 1

Given the following expression:

`\text{ 73 x 42}`

Let's determine the product,

Multiplying 73 by 42, let's answer this step by step:

First, multiply 73 by 2,

73

x 2

146

Next, multiply 73 by 4,

+1

73

x 4

292

Since 3 x 4 gives you a 12, you carry over 1 to 7 and bring down 2 as the first digit of the product. Then, after multiplying 4 and 7, you add the carried over 1 to complete the product, 4 x 7 = 28 + 1 = 29.

After getting the product of 73 x 2 and 73 x 4, you put the first digit of each product into where the 2 and 4 are positioned. Afterward, you add the two products on the numbers where they are aligned to get the final answer.

We get,

73

x 42

146

+ 292

3066 ; 3 = 2 + 1 from carrying over 1 of 1 + 9 = 10 to bring down 0 as the 3rd digit of the answer.
