In the column: product 640.

Step by step: 40 × 16

  1. Step 1Multiply the multiplicand by the last digit of the multiplier, 6: 40 × 6 = 240.
    • 0 × 6 = 0. Write 0.
    • 4 × 6 = 24. Write 4 and carry 2.
    • No digits are left, so the carried 2 is written in front: the partial product is 240.
  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 products240 + 400 = 640
