i am working on LR multiplication. the example in ch 7 is 73201×3. I tried this with a simpler example 125×8..which should be 1000, but when I do LR I get a different number. what am I doing wrong?
Here are the steps
125 x 8 = _ _ _ _
Multiplying Left to Right one digit at a time
We multiply 1 x 8 to get 8 which becomes the first digit of the answer.
125 x 8 = 8 _ _ _
We multiply 2 x 8 to get 16. We carry over the 1 in 16 so 8 becomes 9.
125 x 8 = 9 _ _ _
The second digit of 6 becomes the next digit of the answer.
125 x 8 = 9 6 _ _
We multiply 5 x 8 to get 40. We carry over the 4 in 40 so 96 becomes 100.
125 x 8 = 1 0 0 _
The 0 in 40 becomes the next digit of the answer.
125 x 8 = 1 0 0 0
1000 is the final answer.
