Answer key

What is multiplication?

Multiplication counts equal groups. For example, 4 × 3 means four groups of three, or 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12. The numbers being multiplied are factors, and their result is the product.

How do you multiply a two-digit number by one digit?

  1. Multiply the ones

    Start with the rightmost digit. Carry any tens to the next place.

  2. Multiply the tens

    Multiply the tens digit and add the tens you carried.

  3. Check the size of the answer

    Estimate first or divide your result by the one-digit factor to check it.

Worked example: 23 × 4

Multiply the ones: 3 × 4 = 12. Write 2 ones and carry 1 ten. Multiply the tens: 2 × 4 + 1 = 9 tens. So 23 × 4 = 92. A check is 92 ÷ 4 = 23.

Multiplication facts

Practice factors from 2 through 12. For example, 7 × 8 = 56. Generate a new sheet to get a different selection of facts.

Multi-digit multiplication

Use 2-digit × 1-digit for place value and carrying, then 2-digit × 2-digit for longer calculations. For example, 24 × 13 = 312.
