Answer:

(c) 10, 404.

Explanation:

Step 1.

To multiply 289 by 36, set them up as shown by arranging the two numbers in columns. We usually put the number with the smaller number of digits at the bottom.

Step 2.

Firstly, work out 6 × 289. The smaller figures in green are the tens figures carried over. Working from right to left:

6 × 9 = 54

Put the 4 in the appropriate column and carry the 5.

6 × 8 + 5(carried) = 53

Put the 3 in the appropriate column and carry the 5.

6 × 2 + 5(carried) = 17

Put the 7 in the appropriate column and carry the 1.

Step 3.

Lastly, work out 30 × 289.

This can be written as 3 × 289 × 10.

Because we are multiplying by 10, we place 1 zero to the right and then work out 3 × 289.

3 × 9 = 27

Put the 7 in the appropriate column and carry the 2.

3 × 8 + 2(carried) = 26

Put the 6 in the appropriate column and carry the 2.

3 × 2 + 2(carried) = 8

Step 4. Finally, the 2 rows are added together starting at the right. The smaller figures in green are the tens figures carried over.

0 + 4 = 4

7 + 3 = 10

Put the 0 in the appropriate column and carry the 1.

6 + 7 + 1(carried) = 14

Put the 4 in the appropriate column and carry the 1.

8 + 1 + 1(carried) = 10

Put the 0 in the appropriate column and carry the 1.

1 (carried) = 1

So: 289 × 36 = 10404

Mathematics done on paper should look something like this; ( Did the best I can on PC)

2 8 9

................. 3....6....×

1 7 3 4

1 5 5

8 6 7 0

....... 2......2.........

1 0 4 0 4

1 1 1

Hope this helped!
