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.
