Break apart the double-digit number. 43 x 5 =? 40 3 +
11
Then multiply each part by 5. 43 x 5 =? 40 3 x 5 x 5 +
12
Then multiply each part by 5. 43 x 5 =? 40 3 x 5 x 5 200 15 +
13
Finally, sum your two products 43 x 5 =215 40 3 x 5 x 5 200 15 += 215 +
14
Let’s look at another example. 53 x 6 = ?
15
Break apart the double-digit number. 53 x 6 = ?
16
Break apart the double-digit number. 53 x 6 = ? 50 3 +
17
Multiply each part by 6. 53 x 6 = ? 50 3 x 6 x 6 +
18
Multiply each part by 6. 53 x 6 = ? 50 3 x 6 x 6 300 18 +
19
Sum the two products. 53 x 6 = 318 50 3 x 6 x 6 300 + 18 = 318 +
