In this activity, we will multiply a three-digit number by a two-digit number.

This can be achieved using long multiplication.

Example

Work out 539 x 34

Step 1: Multiply 539 x 4 = 2,156

Step 2: Multiply 539 x 30 = 16,170

Step 3: Add the numbers together for the answer 2,156 + 16,170 = 18,326

Let's have a go at some questions now.
