4. Starting off X809 100 20 3 89 x 123 First partition each number like this.

5. Where everything goes X809 100 20 3 Now times where the arrows meet (where the dots are). 8000 1600 240 900 180 27

6. Totalling X809 100 8000 900 20 1600 180 3 240 27 = 10947 Now total up all the circled numbers. = = 267 8900 1780 +

7. It’s easy as 1…2…3!!! So just follow these 3 easy steps and you can solve any multiplication (it doesn’t just have to be 2 or 3 digit numbers).
