No, I didn't see it all the post are beginning to run together to me
To multiply in the indicated base, follow these steps:
Step 1: Set up the multiplication problem by aligning the numbers properly. Place the larger number on top and the smaller number below it:
14 <- larger number
5
x 4 <- smaller number
5
Step 2: Start multiplying from the rightmost digit of the smaller number (also known as the ones place) with each digit of the larger number.
Multiply the digit 4 (from the smaller number) with each digit of the larger number (14).
- Multiply 4 with 4: 4 x 4 = 16
- Multiply 4 with 1: 4 x 1 = 4
Step 3: Add the products obtained in step 2.
- Add 16 (the product of 4 x 4) and 0 (since there is no digit after the 1 in the larger number) to get 16.
14 <- larger number
5
x 4 <- smaller number
5
________________
16
Step 4: Write down the partial product obtained in step 3 below the line.
14 <- larger number
5
x 4 <- smaller number
5
________________
16 <- partial product
Step 5: Move to the left and repeat steps 2-4 for the next digit.
Multiply the digit 5 (from the smaller number) with each digit of the larger number (14).
- Multiply 5 with 4: 5 x 4 = 20
- Multiply 5 with 1: 5 x 1 = 5
Step 6: Add the products obtained in step 5.
- Add 20 (the product of 5 x 4) and 5 (the product of 5 x 1) to get 25.
14 <- larger number
5
x 4 <- smaller number
5
________________
16 <- partial product
25 <- partial product
Step 7: Write down the partial product obtained in step 6 below the line.
14 <- larger number
5
x 4 <- smaller number
5
________________
16 <- partial product
25 <- partial product
Step 8: If there are more digits in the smaller number, move to the left and repeat steps 2-7 until all digits are multiplied.
In this case, we are done because there are no more digits in the smaller number.
Step 9: Add up all the partial products obtained in steps 4, 7, and so on.
- Add 16 and 25 to get 41.
14 <- larger number
5
x 4 <- smaller number
5
________________
16 <- partial product
25 <- partial product
________________
41 <- final product
So, the final product of 14 base 5 multiplied by 4 base 5 is 41 base 5.
