What is 50 × 40?

Answer

50 × 40 =
2,000

One partial product: the only non-zero digit of 40 is 4, and it stands for 4 × 10: 50 × 40 = 2,000. 40 × 50 gives the same 2,000.

2000

In the column: product 2,000.

Step by step: 50 × 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: 50 × 40 = 2,000.
    • 0 × 4 = 0. Write 0.
    • 5 × 4 = 20. Write 0 and carry 2.
    • No digits are left, so the carried 2 is written in front: the partial product is 200.

FAQ

What is 50 × 40?

50 × 40 = 2,000

Is 50 × 40 the same as 40 × 50?

Yes. Multiplication is commutative, so both come to 2,000. Only the working differs: this page multiplies by 40, which gives a single partial product.

How do you check that 50 × 40 = 2,000?

Divide the product back by one of the factors: 2,000 ÷ 40 = 50 exactly, with no remainder. Multiplication and division undo each other, which is what makes this check work.

What are the partial products of 50 × 40?

Only one of them counts: every other digit of 40 is a zero and contributes nothing, so the work comes down to 50 × 40 = 2,000, with nothing left to add.
