What is 60 × 40?

Answer

60 × 40 =
2,400

One partial product: the only non-zero digit of 40 is 4, and it stands for 4 × 10: 60 × 40 = 2,400. 40 × 60 gives the same 2,400.

In the column: product 2,400.

Step by step: 60 × 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: 60 × 40 = 2,400.
    • 0 × 4 = 0. Write 0.
    • 6 × 4 = 24. Write 4 and carry 2.
    • No digits are left, so the carried 2 is written in front: the partial product is 240.

Yes. Multiplication is commutative, so both come to 2,400. Only the working differs: this page multiplies by 40, which gives a single partial product.

How do you check that 60 × 40 = 2,400?

Divide the product back by one of the factors: 2,400 ÷ 40 = 60 exactly, with no remainder. Multiplication and division undo each other, which is what makes this check work.

What are the partial products of 60 × 40?
