= 736
1. To multiply 32 by 23, set them up as shown by arranging the two numbers in columns.
2.work out 3 × 32. The smaller figures in green are the tens figures carried over. Working from right to left:
3 × 2 = 6
3 × 3 = 9
3. Lastly, work out 20 × 32.This can be written as 2 × 32 × 10.
Because we are multiplying by 10, we place 1 zero to the right and then work out 2 × 32.
2 × 2 = 4
2 × 3 = 6
4.Finally the 2 rows are added together starting at the right. The smaller figures in green are the tens figures carried over.
0 + 6 = 6
4 + 9 = 13
Put the 3 in the appropriate column and carry the 1.
6 + 1(carried) = 7
I recommend just using a calculator.
