3-digit by 3-digit number multiplication

First, we take Ex.1) 312 × 145

Step 1) Arrange it as shown below

Step 2) In the next step do some calculations given below

Step 3) Above numbers are multiplied as per the direction shown, after this add those numbers as shown below

Always write in two-digit numbers in resultant like in left-hand side 3 is written as 03.

Step 4) After that addition method is given below

Starting from the right-hand side in number 10's unit digit no. 0 is directly placed. After that tens digit no. 1 will be added on next no. 13 which will give 14 then again unit digit no. 4 is placed below and tens digit no.1 is further added on next number 21 and the process goes on till the end, as shown above.

So, 312 × 145 = 45240

Also by this method, we can calculate 2×3 and 3×2 numbers multiplication.

2 Digit by 3 Digit Multiplication Trick

Ex. 2) 23 × 658 

In this 2-digit by 3-digit multiplication, we have to make this 3-digit by 3 digits so we can write this also 023 × 658 now we start further calculations.

So Ans. is 151

By practising more we can calculate within a few seconds, let's take another example and do calculation a little bit in mind.

3 Digit by 2 Digit Multiplication Trick

Ex. 3) 731 × 56 

In these 3 × 2 Numbers, we have to make like this 3 × 3 Numbers so we can write this also 731 × 056 now we start further calculations

So Ans. is 40936

Remember always write in two-digit numbers in resultant like in right hand 1 × 6 = 6 but it is written as 06.

Squaring of 3 Digit Number

We also do 3 × 3 digit square by this method.

Ex. 4) Square of 512

we can write it like 512 × 512

So, a square of 512 = 262144
