Problem 1: 72 × 41

Step 1: Multiply 72 by 1 (the ones digit of 41)
→ 72 × 1 = 72

Step 2: Multiply 72 by 40 (the tens digit of 41 is 4, so it’s really 40)
→ 72 × 4 = 288 → then add a zero at the end because it’s 40 → 2880

Step 3: Add the two results
→ 72 + 2880 = 2952

✔ Check:
72 × 40 = 2880
72 × 1 = 72
2880 + 72 = 2952 ✔️

Problem 2: 49 × 18

Step 1: Multiply 49 by 8 (ones digit of 18)
→ 49 × 8 = ?
Break it down: 50×8 = 400, minus 1×8 = 8 → 400 - 8 = 392

Step 2: Multiply 49 by 10 (tens digit of 18 is 1 → so 10)
→ 49 × 10 = 490

Step 3: Add them
→ 392 + 490 = 882

✔ Check:
49 × 8 = 392
49 × 10 = 490
392 + 490 = 882 ✔️

Problem 3: 85 × 26

Step 1: Multiply 85 by 6 (ones digit of 26)
→ 85 × 6 = ?
80×6 = 480, 5×6=30 → 480+30 = 510

Step 2: Multiply 85 by 20 (tens digit is 2 → so 20)
→ 85 × 2 = 170 → add a zero → 1700

Step 3: Add them
→ 510 + 1700 = 2210

✔ Check:
85 × 6 = 510
85 × 20 = 1700
510 + 1700 = 2210 ✔️

Problem 4: 37 × 25

Step 1: Multiply 37 by 5 (ones digit of 25)
→ 37 × 5 = ?
30×5=150, 7×5=35 → 150+35 = 185

Step 2: Multiply 37 by 20 (tens digit is 2 → so 20)
→ 37 × 2 = 74 → add a zero → 740

Step 3: Add them
→ 185 + 740 = 925

✔ Check:
37 × 5 = 185
37 × 20 = 740
185 + 740 = 925 ✔️

Final Answer:
72 × 41 = 2952
49 × 18 = 882
85 × 26 = 2210
37 × 25 = 925
