Don't worry! If you can solve the problems in Introduction to Multiplication, you can learn to solve these problems too. and the right digits lined up.Īt first glance, stacked multiplication problems might look pretty complicated. See how the 2 is right above the 5?Īlso, notice that we put the larger number on top, even though it was the second number in our original expression.Īlways set up stacked multiplication problems the same way: with the larger number on top.Īlways set up stacked multiplication problems the same way: with the larger number on top. When you write a stacked multiplication problem, always make sure the numbers are lined up this way.įor example, let's look at another problem, 5 x 112. Notice how the numbers are lined up to the right? Instead of an equals sign, put a line underneath the number on the bottom. Next, write the times sign to the left of the numbers. The problem will be harder to solve if you don't. It's a good habit to always write the larger number on top.
Let's practice stacking with this problem, 14 x 2.įirst, write the numbers, one above the other.
It means that we'll write the numbers on top of one another instead of side by side. Fortunately, there's a way to write the problem so that you can break it into smaller pieces.
