What is 1007360 × 7? Answer, 7051520.
123456789 × 9 + 10 and 123 × 9 + 4?—Ans. 1111111111 and 1111.
What is 136 × 3 + 129 × 4 + 147 × 8 + 27 × 3000?—Ans. 83100.
An army is made up of 33 regiments of infantry, each containing 800 men; 14 of cavalry, each containing 600 men; and 2 of artillery, each containing 300 men. The enemy has 6 more regiments of infantry, each containing 100 more men; 3 more regiments of cavalry, each containing 100 men less; and 4 corps of artillery of the same magnitude as those of the first: two regiments of cavalry and one of infantry desert from the former to the latter. How many men has the second army more than the first?—Answer, 13400.
62. Suppose it is required to multiply 23707 by 4567. Since 4567 is made up of 4000, 500, 60, and 7, by (53) we must multiply 23707 by each of these, and add the products.
| Now (58) | 23707 × | 7 | is | 165949 |
| (60) | 23707 × | 60 | is | 1422420 |
| 23707 × | 500 | is | 11853500 | |
| 23707 × | 4000 | is | 94828000 | |
| The sum of these | is | 108269869 | ||
which is the product required.
It will do as well if, instead of writing the ciphers at the end of each line, we keep the other figures in their places without them. If we take away the ciphers, the second line is one place to the left of the first, the third one place to the left of the second, and so on. Write the multiplier and the multiplicand over these lines, and the process will stand thus:
