How do you multiply 367 and 72?
Sure, I can help you with multiplying 367 and 72!
To multiply two numbers, you can use the traditional method called long multiplication. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Write the larger number, 367, on top and the smaller number, 72, below it.
3 6 7 <- 367
x 7 2 <- 72
_______________
Step 2: Start by multiplying the ones digit of the bottom number (2) with each digit of the top number (from right to left).
3 6 7 <- 367
x 7 2 <- 72
_______________
2 1 4 <- add a zero placeholder for the answer
- Multiply the ones digit "2" by each digit in the top number:
2 x 7 = 14
2 x 6 = 12
Step 3: Write the results underneath the line, making sure to align them properly.
3 6 7 <- 367
x 7 2 <- 72
_______________
2 1 4
2 4
Step 4: Now, multiply the tens digit of the bottom number (7) by each digit of the top number (from right to left).
3 6 7 <- 367
x 7 2 <- 72
_______________
2 1 4
2 4
+ 2 1
- Multiply the tens digit "7" by each digit in the top number:
7 x 7 = 49
7 x 6 = 42
Step 5: Write the results underneath the line, aligning them properly.
3 6 7 <- 367
x 7 2 <- 72
_______________
2 1 4
2 4
+ 2 1
+ 4 9
Step 6: Finally, add up the results to get the final product.
3 6 7 <- 367
x 7 2 <- 72
_______________
2 1 4
2 4
+ 2 1
+ 4 9 <- The final product is 26,424
So, 367 multiplied by 72 equals 26,424.
