METHOD
Step 1. Multiply the original number (Multiplicand) by 10, or just add one zero (0) at the right-hand end of the number
Step 2. Subtract the original number or Multiplicand from the new number worked out in Step 1
Step 3. The difference is the answer.
Example 1. Consider 5 x 9
Step 1. 5 x 10 = 50 or 50
Step 2. 50 - 5
Step 3. Answer 45
Example 2. Consider 67 x 9
Step 1. 67 x 10 = 670 or 670
Step 2. 670 - 67
Step 3. Answer 603
Example 3. Consider 4813 x 9
Step 1. 4813 x 10 = 48130 or 48130
Step 2. 48130 - 4813
Step 3. Answer 43317
| Number | Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 x 10 = 50 or 50 | 50 - 5 = 45 | 45 |
| 67 | 67 x 10 = 670 or 670 | 670 - 67 = 603 | 603 |
| 4813 | 4813 x 10 = 48130 or 48130 | 48130 - 4813 = 43317 | 43317 |
