2-Digit × 1-Digit with Regrouping

Master multiplication with carrying

What You'll Learn

  • Regroup (carry) in multiplication
  • Keep track of carried digits
  • Solve any 2-digit × 1-digit problem

📖When to Regroup

When multiplying the ones gives 10 or more, you need to regroup. For 46 × 7: 6 × 7 = 42. Write 2, carry 4. Then 4 × 7 = 28, plus 4 = 32. Answer: 322.

📖Step by Step

1) Multiply ones: 6 × 7 = 42. Write 2, carry 4. 2) Multiply tens: 4 × 7 = 28. 3) Add the carry: 28 + 4 = 32. 4) Write 32 next to the 2 = 322.

💡

Write the carried number small above the tens place so you do not forget it!

⚠️

The most common mistake is forgetting to add the carried digit. Always check your work!
