MULTIPLYING TWO-DIGIT NUMBERS

Multiplying two 2-digit numbers


(same 1st digit)

1. Select two 2-digit numbers with the same first digit.


2. Multiply their second digits (keep the carry). _ _ _ X
3. Multiply the sum of the second digits by the first digit,
add the carry (keep the carry). _ _ X _
4. Multiply the first digits (add the carry). X X _ _

Example:

1. If the first number is 42, choose 45 as the second number (any 2-digit
number with first digit 4).
2. Multiply the last digits: 2 × 5 = 10 (keep carry)
___0
3. Multiply the sum of the 2nd digits by the first:
5 + 2 = 7; 7 × 4 = 28; 28 + 1 = 29 (keep carry)
__9_
4. Multiply the first digits (add the carry)
4 × 4 = 16; 16 + 2 = 18
18__

5. So 42 × 45 = 1890.

Multiplying two 2-digit numbers


(same 1st digit, 2nd digits sum to 10)

1. Both numbers should have the same first digit.


2. Choose second digits whose sum is 10.
3. Multiply the first digit by one number greater than itself; this number will
be the first part of the answer:
X X _ _.
4. Multiply the two second digits together; the product
will be the last part of the answer: _ _ X X.

Note: If the two second digits are 1 and 9 (or, more generally, have a product
that is less than ten), insert a 0 (zero) for the first X in step 4.

(Thanks to Michael Richardson, age 10, for this note.)

Example:

1. If the first number is 47, choose 43 as the second number (same first
digit, second digits add to 10).
2. 4 × 5 = 20 (multiply the first digit by one number greater than itself): the
first part of the answer is
2 0 _ _.

17
3. 7 × 3 = 21 (multiply the two second digits together); the last part of the
answer is _ _ 2 1.
4. So 47 × 43 = 2021.

Multiplying two 2-digit numbers (same 2nd digit)

1. Both numbers should have the same second digit.


2. Choose first digits whose sum is 10.
3. Multiply the first digits and add one second: X X _ _.
4. Multiply the second digits together: _ _ X X.

Example:

1. If the first number is 67, choose 47 as the second number (same second
digit, first digits add to 10).
2. Multiply the 1st digits, add one 2nd.
6x4 = 24, 24+7 = 31. 3 1 _ _
3. Multiply the 2nd digits. 7x7 = 49 _ _ 4 9
4. So 67 × 47 = 3149.

MULTIPLYING TWO 2-DIGIT NUMBERS

Multiplying two 2-digit numbers


(difference of 1)

1. Choose a 2-digit number.


2. Select a number either 1 smaller or 1 larger.

4. Subtract the larger number from the product.
OR
5. Square the smaller number (multiply it by itself).
6. Add the smaller number to the product. Pick the easier one to square.

Example:

1. If the first number is 76, choose 75 as the second number.


2. 75 × 75 = 5625 (square the smaller). Remember how to square a two-
digit number ending in 5?
3. 5625 + 75 = 5700 (add the smaller).
4. So 76 × 75 = 5700.

2. The average of 29 and 31 is 30. Square 30: 30 × 30 = 900.
3. Subtract 1: 900 - 1 = 899.
4. So 29 × 31 = 899.

Multiplying two 2-digit numbers


(difference of 3)

1. Choose a 2-digit number.


2. Select a number either 3 smaller or 3 larger.
3. Add 1 to the smaller number, then square.
4. Subtract one from the smaller number.
5. Add this to the square.

Example:

1. If the first number is 27, choose 24 as the second number.


2. Add 1 to the smaller number: 24 + 1 = 25.
3. Square this number: 25 × 25 = 625.
4. Subtract one from the smaller number: 24 - 1 = 23.
5. Add this to the square: 625 + 23 = 648.
6. So 27 × 24 = 648.

Multiplying two 2-digit numbers


(difference of 4)

1. Choose a 2-digit number.


2. Select a number either 4 smaller or 4 larger.
3. Find the middle number of the two (the average).

5. Subtract 4 from this square.

Example:

1. If the first number is 63, choose 67 as the second number.


2. The middle number (the average) is 65.
3. Square this middle number: 65 × 65 = 4225. (Remember how to square
a 2-digit number ending in 5?)
4. Subtract 4 from this square: 4225 - 4 = 4221.
5. So 63 × 67 = 4221.

Multiplying two 2-digit numbers

5. Subtract 9 from this square.

Example:

1. If the first number is 78, choose 72 as the second number.


2. The middle number (the average) is 75.
3. Square this middle number: 75 × 75 = 5625. (Remember how to square
a 2-digit number ending in 5?)
4. Subtract 9 from this square: 5625 - 9 = 5616.
5. So 78 × 72 = 5616.

Multiplying two 2-digit numbers


(difference of 8)

1. Choose a 2-digit number.


2. Select a number either 8 smaller or 8 larger.
3. Find the middle number of the two (the average).
4. Square this middle number (multiply it by itself).
5. Subtract 16 from this square.

Example:

1. If the first number is 34, choose 26 as the second number (8 smaller).


2. The middle number (the average) is 30.
3. Square this middle number: 30 × 30 = 900.
4. Subtract 16 from this square: 900 - 16 = 884.
5. So 34 × 26 = 884.

Multiplying two 2-digit numbers (difference of 10)

1. Choose a 2-digit number.


2. Select a number either 10 smaller or 10 larger.
3. Find the middle number of the two (the average).

5. Subtract 25 from this square.

Example:

1. If the first number is 36, choose 26 as the second number (10 smaller).
2. The middle number (the average) is 31.
3. Square this middle number: 31 × 31 = 961. (Remember how to square a
2-digit number ending in 1?)
4. Subtract 25 from this square: 961 - 25 = 936
(subtract mentally in steps: think 961 - 20 - 5 = 941 - 5 = 936).
5. So 36 × 26 = 936.

MULTIPLYING TWO SELECTED 3-DIGIT NUMBERS

20
Multiplying two selected 3-digit numbers
(middle digit 0)

1. Select a 3-digit number with a middle digit of 0.


2. Choose a multiplier with the same first two digits, whose third digit sums

4. The next digit will be the first digit of the numbers:
_ X _ _ _ or _ _ X _ _ _.
5. The next digit is zero: _ _ 0 _ _ or _ _ _ 0 _ _.
6. The last two digits will be the product of the third digits:
_ _ _ X X or _ _ _ _ X X.

Example:

1. If the first number is 407, choose 403 as the second number (same first
digits, second digits add to 10).
2. 4 × 4 = 16 (square the first digit): 1 6 _ _ _ _.
3. The next digit will be the first digit of the numbers:
__4__.
4. The next digit is zero: _ _ 0 _ _ .
