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.
