Heres a new method for you to try!


My problem is: 145 x 13 = ?

Step one:
Break the numbers up into their different parts.
145 = 100 + 40 + 5
13 = 10 + 3
Step two:
Fill the numbers onto a grid like this.
x

100

40

Step 3:
Begin to cross multiply each number filling the answer into the grid.
(This is just like filling in a multiplication square.)

Therefore:
145 x 13 = 1885
