How do I break this down in generic triangle
111×333
To break down the multiplication of 111 and 333 in a generic triangle, you can use the distributive property. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Write down the first number (111) on the top vertex of the triangle, and the second number (333) on the bottom left vertex of the triangle.
111
/
333
Step 2: Draw two diagonal lines coming down from the top vertex on either side, and label them with the number 100.
111
/ \
100 100
/ \
333 333
Step 3: Now, draw two more diagonal lines from the bottom left vertex to the two corners of the triangle on the right side, and label them with the number 10.
111
/ \
100 100
/ \
10 10
/ \
3 3
Step 4: Finally, multiply each number at the end of these diagonal lines with the corresponding numbers above them, and add them up.
111
/ \
100 100
/ \
10 10
/ \
3 x 100 3 x 10
= 300 + 30
= 330
Therefore, the product of 111 and 333 is 330.
