Follow this example showing multiplication steps
163 x 2 = ?
We start by multiplying 2 x 3 = 6. We write the 6 under the line.
Now, we multiply 2 x 6 = 12. Here, we write the 2 below the line, and we save the 1 from the tens place, and we will add it later to the next multiplication.
Lastly, we multiply 2 x 1 = 2. Not forgetting to add on the 1 that we saved from the last product, so 2 + 1 = 3. Since there is nothing else to multiply, we write the 3 below the line.
The final answer to the multiplication is 163 x 2 = 326.
