Consider the example 234 x 26.
When multiplying out, you do the ones digit first, then the tens digit:
and then add the results together.
However, the value of the tens digit is the_digit x 10. So in this example, the tens digit is not worth two (2) but twenty (20 = 2 x 10). Thus the correct value of multiplying by the tens digit is:
(The correct sum is: 234 x 26 = 1406 + 4680 = 6084)
So when multiplying by the tens digit there will be a zero (0) on the end.
Similarly when multiplying by a hundreds digit there will be two zeros (00) on the end.
To avoid forgetting to do this, the zero(s) is(are) normally written in first before doing the multiplication by the tens (hundreds, etc) digit.
factor x factor= product
multiplicand x multiplier = product. Multiplier is the answer.
multiplicand times multiplier equals product
The assertion in the question is simply not true.
The first is the multiplicand the second is the multiplier.
factor x factor= product
multiplicand x multiplier = product. Multiplier is the answer.
multiplicand times multiplier equals product
In a multiplication sum, for example, 6 x 3 = 18, the first number is the multiplier, the second number is the multiplicand, and the third number, the answer, is the product.
The first is the multiplicand the second is the multiplier.
The assertion in the question is simply not true.
The answer will depend on the order in which you do partial products. It is quite common in the UK for the first partial product to be the two digits in the tens' place and so that is often the largest. This ties in with the method for multiplying two binomials when they move on to algebra.
34 x 28 = 34 x (20 + 8) First partial product is: (30 + 4) x 8 = 240 + 32 Second partial product is: (30 + 4) x 20 = 600 + 80 Sum of partial products = total product = 600 + 240 + 80 + 32 = 952
the mutiplicand is the first number (s) and the multiplier is the second number
The product of two digit numbers is always greater than either.
The first number written is named the "multiplicand" and the second number is the "multiplier".
In any multiplication sum, for example, 6 x 3 = 18, the first number is called a multiplier. The second number, the number by which it is being multiplied, is called the multiplicand. The third number, the answer to the sum, is called the product.
