What is 40 × 15?

Answer

40 × 15 =
600

2 partial products: 40 × 5 = 200 and 40 × 10 = 400. 15 × 40 gives the same 600.

In the column: product 600.

Step by step: 40 × 15

  1. Step 1Multiply the multiplicand by the last digit of the multiplier, 5: 40 × 5 = 200.
    • 0 × 5 = 0. Write 0.
    • 4 × 5 = 20. Write 0 and carry 2.
    • No digits are left, so the carried 2 is written in front: the partial product is 200.
  2. Step 2The next digit of the multiplier is 1, and it stands for 10: 40 × 10 = 400.
    • 0 × 1 = 0. Write 0.
    • 4 × 1 = 4. Write 4.
  3. Sum of the partial products200 + 400 = 600
