Set up the problem: Set up the multiplication problem.To find the product of 9 and 36, we write the multiplication expression as follows: 9×36.
Multiply the numbers: Multiply the numbers.We multiply 9 by 36. To do this, we can use the standard algorithm for multiplication or mental math. Using mental math, we know that 9×30 is 270 (since 9×3 is 27 and we add a zero for the 30), and 9×6 is 54. Adding these two products together gives us 270+54.
Add the partial products: Add the partial products.Now we add 270 and 54 to get the final product. 270+54 equals 324.
