Example Question #130 : Elementary Operations

Multiply the following numbers:  \(\displaystyle 1971\times9001\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle \textup{The answer is not given.}\)

\(\displaystyle 17740971\)

\(\displaystyle 18710091\)

\(\displaystyle 19710001\)

\(\displaystyle 17748001\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 17740971\)

Explanation:

Multiply the first number with the ones digit of the second number.

\(\displaystyle 1971\times 1 =1971\)

Save this number.

Notice that the tens and hundreds digits of the second number are zero.

We must add a zero to the end of the number obtained by multiply the first number with the tens digit, two zeros multiplied with the hundreds digit, and so forth.

Multiply the first number with the thousands digit of the second number.

\(\displaystyle 1971\times 9=17739\)

Add three zeros to the end of this number.

\(\displaystyle 17739000\)

Add this number with the first number.

\(\displaystyle 17739000+1971 = 17740971\)

The answer is:  \(\displaystyle 17740971\)
