Example 1.48 from Prealgebra, 1.4 Multiply Whole Numbers

Multiply Whole Numbers: example 1.48

Multiply: $(354) (438) .$

Work it out on paper first. Then open the solution one step at a time, and stop as soon as you can finish on your own.

Solution
There are three digits in the factors so there will be $3$ partial products. We do not have to write the $0$ as a placeholder as long as we write each partial product in the correct place.

Your turn

The book's Try It right after this example: same idea, new numbers. Only the answer is given.

Multiply: $(265) (483) .$

How did it go?
