Multiply a 2-Digit by 1-Digit Number - Arithmetic Step by Step

Multiply 47 by 6 one digit at a time: multiply the ones, record any carry, then multiply the tens and add the carry. Every digit multiplication is shown step by step so you can see where each part of the answer comes from.

Example

multiply-47x6.math

   47
x   6
-----

step: 6 x 7 = 42 -> write 2, carry 4
step: 6 x 4 = 24, + carry 4 = 28 -> write 8, carry 2
step: carry 2 -> write 2
step: partial 1: 282
step: add partials: 282
step: product = 282

partial-product Multiplying each digit of the top number by the bottom digit gives one partial product; adds sum up to the final answer.

carry When a digit product exceeds 9, the tens digit "carries" to the next column.
