Multiplication Strategies and Examples

3 × 36 = 108, which means adding 36 three times: 36 + 36 + 36.

Break apart the multi-digit factor into place values, multiply each with the single-digit factor, then add the partial products together.

5 x 256 = 1,280 is solved by breaking it down as 1000 + 250 + 30 and multiplying each place value by 5.

Break down numbers into smaller parts to simplify multiplication.

Use a visual representation to break down multiplication into smaller parts. Multi-digits get broken down in expanded form. Use powers of 10 when you multiply with zeros on the end.

3 x 36 = 108, representing three groups of thirty-six.

Use strategies like repeated addition, partial products, distributive property, and area model.

Break down numbers by place value for easier multiplication.

Each number inside the parentheses is multiplied by the single-digit factor.

(10 + 6) x 4 = 64

or

4 x (10 + 6) = 64
