Question

What is the value of $132\times 23$?

• A. $4,036$
• B. $3,036$
• C. $5,036$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $3,036$

We first solve $132\times 23$ using our well-known lattice method as shown in the following.


$\therefore 132\times 23=03036=3,036$

Next, we solve $132\times 23$ using our new method of multiplication as shown below.


Using the above method, we also get $132\times 23=3,036$.

$\underset{–}{\text{Notes:}}$

$\bullet$ In without-lattice multiplication method, after the first multiplication, we get $396$, which is same as the number present in the $2^{\text{nd}}$ row and underneath the diagonal of lattice in with-lattice multiplication method.

$\bullet$ In without-lattice multiplication method, after the second multiplication, we get $264$, which is same as the number present in the $1^{\text{st}}$ row and underneath the diagonal of lattice in with-lattice multiplication method.

$\bullet$ In without-lattice multiplication method, after the addition, we get $3036$, which is same as the numbers present beside each diagonal strips in with-lattice multiplication method.
