 MULTIPLYING TWO DIGIT NUMBERS WITH “I” AS
THE UNITS DIGITS
•FIND THE PRODUCT OF THE TENS DIGITS OF THE TWO
NUMBERS.
•WRITE DOWN THE PRODUCT.
•FIND THE SUM OF THE NUMBER OF TENS IN THE ATTENDANT
AND THE SECOND NUMBER.
•FOLLOW THE PRODUCT BY THE SUM.
 EXAMPLES

A. 51 X 31 = 1581 B. 41 X 21 = 861

STEP 1: 5 X 3 = 15 STEP 1:4 X 2 = 8

STEP 2: 50 + 31 = 81 STEP 2: 40 + 21 = 61
STEP 3: 1581 STEP 3: 861
 MULTIPLYING TWO 2-DIGIT NUMBERS WITH “I” AS THE TEN DIGITS

•GET THE SUM OF A AND THE UNITS DIGIT OF B. WRITE DOWN

THE SUM.
•GET THE PRODUCT OF THE TWO DIGITS.
•ADD THEM TOGETHER IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE TENS DIGIT OF
THE PRODUCT IS LINE UP WITH THE UNITS DIGIT OF THE SUM.
