Let's solve each problem step by step using
partitioning, which means breaking down a number into its place values (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones), multiplying each part by the multiplier, and then adding the results.

Problem 1: 1422 × 3
We break 1422 into:
- 1000 (thousands)
- 400 (hundreds)
- 20 (tens)
- 2 (ones)
Now multiply each by 3:
- 1000 × 3 =
3000
- 400 × 3 =
1200
- 20 × 3 =
60
- 2 × 3 =
6
Add them:
- 3000 + 1200 = 4200
- 4200 + 60 = 4260
- 4260 + 6 =
4266
✔ Final Answer:
4266

Problem 2: 1239 × 4
Break 1239 into:
- 1000
- 200
- 30
- 9
Multiply each by 4:
- 1000 × 4 =
4000
- 200 × 4 =
800
- 30 × 4 =
120
- 9 × 4 =
36
Add:
- 4000 + 800 = 4800
- 4800 + 120 = 4920
- 4920 + 36 =
4956
✔ Final Answer:
4956

Problem 3: 1439 × 4
Break 1439 into:
- 1000
- 400
- 30
- 9
Multiply each by 4:
- 1000 × 4 =
4000
- 400 × 4 =
1600
- 30 × 4 =
120
- 9 × 4 =
36
Add:
- 4000 + 1600 = 5600
- 5600 + 120 = 5720
- 5720 + 36 =
5756
✔ Final Answer:
5756

Problem 4: 5148 × 4
Break 5148 into:
- 5000
- 100
- 40
- 8
Multiply each by 4:
- 5000 × 4 =
20,000
- 100 × 4 =
400
- 40 × 4 =
160
- 8 × 4 =
32
Add:
- 20,000 + 400 = 20,400
- 20,400 + 160 = 20,560
- 20,560 + 32 =
20,592
✔ Final Answer:
20,592
