Identify Numbers: Identify the numbers to be multiplied. We have two numbers, 22200 and 24, which we need to multiply together.
Set Up Multiplication: Set up the multiplication. Write down the larger number, 22200, and below it write the smaller number, 24, aligning the units digits.
Multiply Units and Tens Digits: Multiply the units digit of the second number 4 by each digit of the first number 22200, starting from the rightmost digit. Write down the result below the line.
Add Products: Multiply the tens digit of the second number (2) by each digit of the first number (22200), starting from the rightmost digit. Remember to add a zero (as a placeholder) to the right of the result since we are now in the tens place. Write down the result below the previous product.
Perform Calculations: Add the two products obtained in steps 3 and 4 to get the final result.
Perform Calculations: Add the two products obtained in steps 3 and 4 to get the final result. Perform the calculations from steps 3, 4, and 5. Multiplying by the units digit of 24:\begin{align*}&22200 (\newline\)&\times\ 4 (\newline\)\hline&88800\ \text{(This is the product of 22200 and 4)}\end{align*}Multiplying by the tens digit of 24 (don't forget the placeholder zero):\begin{align*}&22200 (\newline\)&\times\ 2 (\newline\)\hline&44400\ \text{(This is 10 times the product of 22200 and 2, hence the placeholder zero)}\end{align*}Now add the two products:\begin{align*}&\phantom{+}88800 (\newline\)&+44400 (\newline\)\hline&133200\end{align*}
