What is 100 × 50?

Answer

100 × 50 =
5,000

One partial product: the only non-zero digit of 50 is 5, and it stands for 5 × 10: 100 × 50 = 5,000. 50 × 100 gives the same 5,000.

5000

In the column: product 5,000.

Step by step: 100 × 50

  1. Step 1The last digit of the multiplier is 0, so this partial product is 0 and adds nothing to the total.
  2. Step 2The next digit of the multiplier is 5, and it stands for 50: 100 × 50 = 5,000.
    • 0 × 5 = 0. Write 0.
    • 0 × 5 = 0. Write 0.
    • 1 × 5 = 5. Write 5.

FAQ

What is 100 × 50?

100 × 50 = 5,000

Is 100 × 50 the same as 50 × 100?

Yes. Multiplication is commutative, so both come to 5,000. Only the working differs: this page multiplies by 50, which gives a single partial product.

How do you check that 100 × 50 = 5,000?

Divide the product back by one of the factors: 5,000 ÷ 50 = 100 exactly, with no remainder. Multiplication and division undo each other, which is what makes this check work.

What are the partial products of 100 × 50?

Only one of them counts: every other digit of 50 is a zero and contributes nothing, so the work comes down to 100 × 50 = 5,000, with nothing left to add.
