Answer:

19384760918273000

Explanation:

Easy solution:

Add as many zeros to the end as there are in the factor you are multiplying by. Since there are two zeros in 100, add two zeros onto the end of 193847609182730. Hence:

100 x 193847609182730 = 19384760918273000

The important thing to remember is that this will only work when dealing with multiples of 10, e.g. 10, 100, 1000, 100000. You cannot use it otherwise. For any other number, use the full solution.

Full solution:

First set out the problem in the form of long multiplication:

193847609182730

× 100

Now use long multiplication to arrive at the answer:

193847609182730

× 100

000000000000000 ← multiply all the top numbers by the last digit of

the bottom number (zero in this case)

0000000000000000 ← multiply all the top number by the second-last

digit of the bottom number, adding an extra

zero, shown in bold

19384760918273000 ← add two extra zeros to the right hand side of

the solution, then multiply all the top numbers

by the first digit of the second number (one)

Final step is to add all the 'layers' together, but since two of them are only zeros, that makes this step easy, as the bottom layer is the solution. Hence:

100 × 193847609182730 = 19384760918273000

Hope that helps!
