MULTIPLYING A 4-DIGIT NUMBER BY A 1-DIGIT NUMBER

                                       4
               Multiply 2356 by  .
                                                                                             4

                                                                                       4
                                          Step 1.  Multiply the ones digits. 6 ×   = 2 = 2 tens +  ones
                    Th  H  T  O                     Write  under the ones (O) column and carry over
                                                            4

                     2  3  5  6                     2 tens to the tens (T) column.
                                                                                       4
                      ×              4    Step 2.  Multiply the tens digits. 5 ×  = 20
                     9    4   2      4              Add all the tens: 20 tens + 2 tens = 22 tens
                                                    = 2 hundreds + 2 tens

                                                    Write 2 under the tens (T) column and carry
                                                    over 2 hundreds to the hundreds (H) column.
                                                                                             4
                                          Step 3.  Multiply the hundreds digits. 3 ×  = 12
                                                    Add all the hundreds: 12 hundreds + 2 hundreds
                                                         4
                                                                                           4
                                                    = 1  hundreds = 1 thousand +  hundreds
                                                      Write   4   under the hundreds column and carry
                                                    over 1 thousand to the thousands (Th) column.
                                                 4
                                                                                              4
                                          Step  .  Multiply the thousands digits. 2 ×  = 8
                                                    Add all the thousands: 8 thousands + 1 thousand

                                                    = 9 thousands
                                                    Write 9 under the thousands (Th) column.
                                                                                 4 4
