In this activity, we will learn about long multiplication.
First of all, let's recap on how to do simple multiplication.
How would we find out the answer to 96 x 2?
We would start by doing 6 x 2 = 12
We put the 2 in the answer box in the ones column and carry the 1 forwards to the tens column.
Then we do 9 x 2 = 18. Don't forget to add the 1 that was carried from the ones column and we have 19.
Write 19 in the answer box and we have the full answer of 192
So 96 x 2 = 192
Now let's test ourselves further and try out some long multiplication:
e.g. Find the product of 96 and 32
Remember that find the product simply means multiply.
Answer:
We get the answer by adding the red and blue rows together.
The answer is 3,072
