Solution - Long multiplication
2,187
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom aligned to the right
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
7 | 2 | 9 | ||
× | 3 | |||
2. Multiply the numbers using long multiplication method
Start by multiplying the ones digit (3) of the multiplier 3 by each digit of the multiplicand 729, from right to left.
Multiply the ones digit (3) of the multiplicator by the number in the ones place value:
3×9=27
Write 7 in the ones place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 2 to the tens place.
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
2 | ||||
7 | 2 | 9 | ||
× | 3 | |||
7 |
Multiply the ones digit (3) of the multiplicator by the number in the tens place value and add the carried number (2):
3×2+2=8
Write 8 in the tens place.
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
2 | ||||
7 | 2 | 9 | ||
× | 3 | |||
8 | 7 |
Multiply the ones digit (3) of the multiplicator by the number in the hundreds place value:
3×7=21
Write 1 in the hundreds place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 2 to the thousands place.
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
2 | 2 | |||
7 | 2 | 9 | ||
× | 3 | |||
2 | 1 | 8 | 7 |
The solution is: 2,187
