Recognize Positive Numbers: Recognize that we are multiplying two positive numbers, 106 and 97.
Set Up Multiplication Problem: Set up the multiplication problem in the standard format with 106 on top and 97 below it, aligning the units digits.
Multiply Units Digits: Multiply the units digit of the bottom number 7 by each digit of the top number 106, starting from the rightmost digit.7×6=42, write down 2 and carry over 4.7×0=0, add the carried over 4 to get 4, write down 4.7×1=7, write down 7.
Write Zero Below: Write a zero below the units place of the result from Step 3 because we are now going to multiply the tens digit of the bottom number (9) by the top number (106).
Multiply Tens Digits: Multiply the tens digit of the bottom number (9) by each digit of the top number (106), starting from the rightmost digit.9×6=54, write down 4 and carry over 5.9×0=0, add the carried over 5 to get 5, write down 5.9×1=9, write down 9.
Add Results: Add the two results from Step 3 and Step 5.742+9540-----10282
