Solution - Long multiplication
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 | ||
| × | 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 729, from right to left.
Multiply the ones digit (4) of the multiplicator by the number in the ones place value:
4×9=36
Write 6 in the ones place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 3 to the tens place.
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | ||||
| 7 | 2 | 9 | ||
| × | 4 | |||
| 6 |
Multiply the ones digit (4) of the multiplicator by the number in the tens place value and add the carried number (3):
4×2+3=11
Write 1 in the tens place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 1 to the hundreds place.
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 3 | |||
| 7 | 2 | 9 | ||
| × | 4 | |||
| 1 | 6 |
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 | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 1 | 3 | ||
| 7 | 2 | 9 | ||
| × | 4 | |||
| 2 | 9 | 1 | 6 |
The solution is: 2,916
