There are different mathematical operations in math such as addition, subtraction and division. Multiplication is one of the arithmetic operations used in different branches of mathematics. Multiplication is denoted by a cross sign ×. Multiplication can be used between different types of numbers such as integers, fractions, decimals and many more.
Example 1: There are 15 snack-bars in a box. If Ben brought 6 boxes how many snack bars does he have?
Solution: Number of snack bar in each box = 15.
Number of boxes Ben brought = 6
Total number of snack bars = 15 x 6.
Here for the multiplication 6 is multiplied to the one’s place 5 x 6 = 30.
Carrying the 3 on the ten’s place. Multiple the ten’s place 1 x 6 = 6.
Now add the carried number to the 6; 6 + 3 = 9. Hence 15 x 6 = 60.
Total number of snack bars = 90.
Question: Multiple choice question (Pick the correct option.)
What is the answer when 56 is multiplied with 4?
a) 204 b) 224 c) 2024 d) None of these.
Correct answer: option b.
Explanation: Here for the multiplication 56 x 4 =?
Multiply 4 to the ones place this gives 6 x 4 = 24. (Write the 4 and carry the 2 in 24).
Carrying the 2 on the ten’s place. Multiple the ten’s place 5 x 4 = 20.
Now add the carried number to the 20; 20 + 2 = 22.
Hence 56 x 4 = 224.
