E.g. : 34 x 65 Break the 34 into 30 and 4, 30
4similarly break 65 into 60 and 5
60 5
Next…..Next…..…. multiply the numbers together( e.g. 30 x 60 = 1800)
3 x 6 = 18, then add 2 zeros
30 4
60 1800
240
5 150 20

So, 34 x 65 = 2210
Or the more traditional Or the more traditional column methodcolumn method can be usedcan be used
First multiply the 34 by 5 3 4
x 6 5 1 7 0
Then multiply the 34 by 60, this can be done by adding a 0 and multiplying by 6
3 4 x 6 5
1 7 0 2 0 4 0
Finally add the two answers 3 4
x 6 5 1 7 0
+ 2 0 4 0 2 2 1 0
