Multiplication As Repeated addition
Look at these examples.
There are 2 groups.
Each group has 4 bananas
There are 3 groups.
Each group has 2 apples.
There are 3 groups.
Each group has 3 balls.
Count the total number of groups. Count the number of objects in each group. Write the total number
There are _____ groups.
Each group has _____ eggs.
2 + 2 + 2 =_________
There are _____ groups.
Each group has _____ biscuits.
There are _____ groups.
Each group has _____ carrots.
How many stars are there altogether?
There are 4 groups.
Each group has 2 stars.
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 4 × 2 = 8
We read it as four times two equals eight
How many mangoes are there in total?
There are 3 groups.
Each group has 5 mangoes.
5 + 5 + 5 = 15 3 × 5 = 15
We read it as “three times five equals fifteen.”
Multiply the numbers.
3 × 5 =____
We say 3 times 5 equals _________.
2 × 4 =_________________
We say 2 times 4 equals _________.
3 × 7 =_________________
We say 3 times 7 equals _________.
2 × 8 =_________________
We say 2 times 8 equals _________.
Multiplication Tables
Let’s quickly revise the tables we learned.
Multiplication of a 4 - Digit Number by a 1 - Digit number
Example: Multiply 1424 by 2.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the given numbers in multiplication form.
Step 2: Multiply the ones: 4 ones × 2 = 8 ones. Write 8 under ones column.
Step 3: Multiply the tens: 2 tens × 2 = 4 tens. Write 4 under tens column
Step 4: Multiply the hundreds: 4 hundreds × 2 = 8 hundreds.
Write 8 under hundreds column.
Step 5: Multiply the thousands: 1 thousands × 2 = 2 thousands.
Write 2 under thousands column.
So, 1424 × 2 = 2848
Example: Multiply 1265 by 5.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the given numbers in multiplication form
Step 2: Multiply the ones : 5 ones × 5 ones = 25 ones.
Write 5 under ones column and carry over 2 tens to tens column.
Step 3: Multiply the tens : 6 tens × 5 = 30 tens.
Add the carry over in tens: 30 tens + 2 tens = 32 tens
Write 2 under tens column and carry over 3 hundreds to hundreds column.
Step 4: Multiply the hundreds : 2 hundreds × 5 = 10 hundreds.
Add the carry over in hundreds: 10 hundreds + 3 hundreds = 13 hundreds
Write 3 under hundreds column and carry over 1 thousand to thousands column.
Step 5: Multiply the thousands : 1 thousand × 5 = 5 thousands
Add the carry over in thousands: 5 thousands + 1 thousand = 6 thousands
Write 6 under thousands column.
So, 1265 × 5 = 6325
Multiplication By Two Digit Numbers
Example: Multiply 65 by 32.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the given numbers in multiplication form.
Step 2: Multiply 65 by 2 ones : 65 × 2 ones = 130 ones.
Write 130 ones below the line.
Step 3: Multiply 65 by 3 tens: 65 × 3 tens = 195 tens
= 1950 ones.
Write 1950 ones below the first product.
Step 4: Add both the products : 130 + 1950 = 2080.
So, 65 × 32 = 2080
Example: Multiply 113 by 22.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the given numbers in multiplication form.
Step 2: Multiply 113 by 22 ones : 113 × 22 ones = 226 ones.
Write 226 ones below the line.
Step 3: Multiply 113 by 22 tens: 113 × 22 tens = 226 tens
= 2260 ones.
Write 2260 ones below the first product.
Step 4: Add both the products : 226 + 2260 = 2486.
So, 113 × 22 = 2486
Properties Of Multiplication
Property 1: Numbers can be multiplied in any order.
The product remains the same.
For example: 4 × 5 = 5 × 4 = 20
Look at the picture.
We can describe this picture in 2 ways.
There are 3 groups.
Each group has 5 balls
3 × 5 = 15
There are 5 groups
Each group has 3 balls.
5 × 3 = 15
5 × 3 = 3 × 5
Property 2:
When a number is multiplied by 0, the product is always 0.
For example: 769 × 0 = 0
Look at this box. Are there any apples?
There are 0 apples.
What if we have three such boxes? How many apples do we have then?
We still have 0 apples. 3 × 0 = 0
If we multiply anything by 0, the answer is still 0.
5 × 0 = 0
Complete the following.
4 × 0 = 0 0 × 6 = 0 9 × 0 = 0
Property 3:
When a number is multiplied by 1, the product is the number itself.
For example: 99 × 1 = 99
Some other Properties
Observe the following:
We observed that to multiply a given number by 10, 100 or 1000, we insert as many zeros to the right of the number as the number of zeros in the multiplier.
Henry has 6 sweets. Lucy has also 6 sweets. How many sweets do they have in total?
There are 2 children. Each child has 6 sweets.
2 × 6 = 12 (2 times 6 = 12)
Henry and Lucy have 12 sweets in total.
John, Lucas and Sara have 10 balls each. How many balls are altogether?
There are 3 children. Each child has 10 balls.
3 × 10 = 30
There are 30 balls in total.
