What is 40 × 20?

Answer

40 × 20 =
800

One partial product: the only non-zero digit of 20 is 2, and it stands for 2 × 10: 40 × 20 = 800. 20 × 40 gives the same 800.

Step by step: 40 × 20

  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 2, and it stands for 20: 40 × 20 = 800.
