🔍 Explanation of Long Multiplication:
In long multiplication:
1. Multiply the top number by the
ones digit of the bottom number.
2. Multiply the top number by the
tens digit of the bottom number, and shift the result one place to the left.
3. Add the two results together.
For example, in
23 × 13:
- 23 × 3 = 69
- 23 × 10 = 230
- 69 + 230 =
299
This method works for any two-digit multiplication and helps keep track of place values.
