In the column: product 720.

Step by step: 60 × 12

  1. Step 1Multiply the multiplicand by the last digit of the multiplier, 2: 60 × 2 = 120.
    • 0 × 2 = 0. Write 0.
    • 6 × 2 = 12. Write 2 and carry 1.
    • No digits are left, so the carried 1 is written in front: the partial product is 120.
  2. Step 2The next digit of the multiplier is 1, and it stands for 10: 60 × 10 = 600.
    • 0 × 1 = 0. Write 0.
    • 6 × 1 = 6. Write 6.
  3. Sum of the partial products120 + 600 = 720
