What is 40 × 40?

Answer

40 × 40 =
1,600

One partial product: the only non-zero digit of 40 is 4, and it stands for 4 × 10: 40 × 40 = 1,600.

1600

In the column: product 1,600.

Step by step: 40 × 40

  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 4, and it stands for 40: 40 × 40 = 1,600.
    • 0 × 4 = 0. Write 0.
    • 4 × 4 = 16. Write 6 and carry 1.
    • No digits are left, so the carried 1 is written in front: the partial product is 160.

How do you check that 40 × 40 = 1,600?

Divide the product back by one of the factors: 1,600 ÷ 40 = 40 exactly, with no remainder. Multiplication and division undo each other, which is what makes this check work.
