The fourth step is to multiply 4x3=12 ( 4 x 316 ). Place number 2 ( 12 ) in the hundreds' place of the product; i.e. add 2 to the hundreds' of the preceding partial product ( 064 ). Thus 2 plus 0 equals 2. The tens' place of the product should now read 2. Immediately cancel the 3 (316) in the hundreds' place of the multiplicand and place number 1( 12 ). The final product is 1264 (fig 1). |
