Best Answer

When multiplying, you are not technically "borrowing" in the same way you do when subtracting. Instead, you are regrouping or carrying over values when the product of two digits is greater than 9. This regrouping allows you to correctly place the appropriate digit in the correct place value position in the final product. So, while the concept may seem similar to borrowing in subtraction, it is actually a different mathematical operation used to ensure accurate multiplication results.

There is no need to borrow when multiplying. You need to carry numbers when multiplying but not borrow.
