Solution - Long multiplication
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom aligned to the right
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 0 | 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| × | 4 | ||||
2. Multiply the numbers using long multiplication method
Start by multiplying the ones digit (4) of the multiplier 4 by each digit of the multiplicand 20,736, from right to left.
Multiply the ones digit (4) of the multiplicator by the number in the ones place value:
4×6=24
Write 4 in the ones place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 2 to the tens place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | |||||
| 2 | 0 | 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| × | 4 | ||||
| 4 |
Multiply the ones digit (4) of the multiplicator by the number in the tens place value and add the carried number (2):
4×3+2=14
Write 4 in the tens place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 1 to the hundreds place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 2 | ||||
| 2 | 0 | 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| × | 4 | ||||
| 4 | 4 |
Multiply the ones digit (4) of the multiplicator by the number in the hundreds place value and add the carried number (1):
4×7+1=29
Write 9 in the hundreds place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 2 to the thousands place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | |||
| 2 | 0 | 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| × | 4 | ||||
| 9 | 4 | 4 |
Multiply the ones digit (4) of the multiplicator by the number in the thousands place value and add the carried number (2):
4×0+2=2
Write 2 in the thousands place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | |||
| 2 | 0 | 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| × | 4 | ||||
| 2 | 9 | 4 | 4 |
Multiply the ones digit (4) of the multiplicator by the number in the ten thousands place value:
4×2=8
Write 8 in the ten thousands place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | |||
| 2 | 0 | 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| × | 4 | ||||
| 8 | 2 | 9 | 4 | 4 |
The solution is: 82,944
