Solution - Long multiplication
544
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom aligned to the right
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 7 | 2 | |
| × | 2 | ||
2. Multiply the numbers using long multiplication method
Start by multiplying the ones digit (2) of the multiplier 2 by each digit of the multiplicand 272, from right to left.
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the ones place value:
2×2=4
Write 4 in the ones place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 7 | 2 | |
| × | 2 | ||
| 4 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the tens place value:
2×7=14
Write 4 in the tens place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 1 to the hundreds place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | |||
| 2 | 7 | 2 | |
| × | 2 | ||
| 4 | 4 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the hundreds place value and add the carried number (1):
2×2+1=5
Write 5 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | |||
| 2 | 7 | 2 | |
| × | 2 | ||
| 5 | 4 | 4 |
The solution is: 544
