Solution - Long multiplication
288
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom aligned to the right
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 2 | ||
| × | 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 72, from right to left.
Multiply the ones digit (4) of the multiplicator by the number in the ones place value:
4×2=8
Write 8 in the ones place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 2 | ||
| × | 4 | ||
| 8 |
Multiply the ones digit (4) of the multiplicator by the number in the tens place value:
4×7=28
Write 8 in the tens place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 2 to the hundreds place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | |||
| 7 | 2 | ||
| × | 4 | ||
| 2 | 8 | 8 |
The solution is: 288
