Question

What would be the value of $6\times 526$?

• A. $3,651$
• B. $3,516$
• C. $1,356$
• D. $3,156$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $3,156$

To find out the value of $6\times 526$, we follow the following steps:

$\bullet$ First we write the bigger number at the top and smaller number just below of it with a proper alignment of one's place.


$\bullet$ We first multiply $6$ with $6$, which is $\underset{–}{3}6$, where $3$ is carrying over to the next multiplication, $6\times 2$. So, the next number, we get $(6\times 2)+3=12+3=\underset{–}{1}5$, where $1$ is carrying over to the next multiplication, $6\times 5$. Hence, the next number would be $(6\times 5)+1=30+1=31$.


$\therefore 6\times 526=3,156$, i.e., option (d.) is the correct one.
