Simple Math Multiplication

In mathematics multiplication is used to multiple the numeric values or numbers. Multiplication can also be visualize as counting objects set in a rectangle or as result the area of a four-sided figure whose sides have given lengths. The area of a four-sided figure is not depend on which side is calculated first which illustrates that the order in which values are multiply as one does not matter

Multiplication examples:

Example 1:12 X 8

Step 1: Multiply the 1 of the 12 by the
number we are multiplying by, in this case 7. So 1 X 8 = 8.

Step 2: Multiply this 8 by 10 giving 80.

Step 3: Now multiply the 8 by the 2 of twelve giving 16. Add this to 80 giving 84.

Therefore 8 X 12 = 96

Example 2: 18 X 12

Step 1: Multiply the 1 of the 12 by the
number we are multiplying by, in this case 18. So 1 X 8 =1 8.

Step 2: Multiply this 18 by 10 giving 180.

Step 3: Now multiply the 18 by the 2 of twelve giving 36. Add this to 180 giving 216.

Therefore 18 X 12 = 216

Example 3 :12 X 9

Step 1: Multiply the 1 of the 12 by the
number we are multiplying by, in this case 7. So 1 X 9 = 9.

Step 2: Multiply this 9 by 10 giving 90.

Step 3: Now multiply the 9 by the 2 of twelve giving 18. Add this to 70 giving 108.

Therefore 9 X 12 = 108

Sample examples:

Example 4: 19 X 12

Step 1: Multiply the 1 of the 12 by the
number we are multiplying by, in this case 17. So 1 X 9 =1 9.

Step 2: Multiply this 19 by 10 giving 190.

Step 3: Now multiply the 19 by the 2 of twelve giving 34. Add this to 170 giving 228.

Therefore 19 X 12 = 228

Example 5 :23 X 7

Step 1: Multiply the 1 of the 12 by the
number we are multiplying by, in this case 7. So, 1 X 7 = 7.

Step 2: Multiply this 7 by 10 giving 70.

Step 3: Now multiply the 7 by the 2 of twelve giving 14. Add this to 70 giving 161.

Therefore 7 X 23 = 161

Example 6: 20 X 12

Step 1: Multiply the 1 of the 12 by the
number we are multiplying by, in this case 20. So 2 X 10 = 20.

Step 2: Multiply this 20 by 10 giving 170.

Step 3: Now multiply the 17 by the 2 of twelve giving 34. Add this to 170 giving 240.

Therefore 17 X 12 = 240

Example 7 :12 X 10

Step 1: Multiply the 1 of the 12 by the

number we are multiplying by, in this case 7. So 1 X 10 = 10.

Step 2: Multiply this 12 by 10 giving 120.

Step 3: Now multiply the 10 by the 2 of twelve giving 20. Add this to 70 giving 84.

Therefore 12 X 10 = 120.

Example 8: 30 X 12

Step 1: Multiply the 1 of the 12 by the
number we are multiplying by, in this case 17. So 1 X 30 =30.

Step 2: Multiply this 30 by 12 giving 360.

Step 3: Now multiply the 30 by the 2 of twelve giving 60. Add this to 170 giving 360.

Therefore 17 X 12 = 360.
