Step 3
|                    | ||
|             | The third step is to multiply 4x1=4 . (4 x 316)Place number 4 in the tens' place of the product; i.e. add 4 to the tens' of the preceding partial product (24). Thus 2 plus 4 equals 6. The tens' place of the product should now read 6. Immediately cancel the 1 (316) in the tens' place of the multiplicand (fig 1). | |
