MULTIPLICATION OF 3 DIGIT NUMBERS
LETS LEARN A SIMPLE TRICK ON MULTIPLES OF A 2 DIGIT NUMBER:

Eg 1: To get the multiples of 34,write 3 table and 4 table in a column and add .

3 4 34
3*6=18 4*6=24 204 18+2=20 becomes the 100s and 10s place of the
answer and the ones place of the answer is
the same as the ones place of the multiple of 4

Eg 2: Multiples of 83

Multiples of 8 Multiples of 3 Multiples of 83

8 3 83
16 6 166
24 9 249
32 12 332

40 15 415

NEXT TRICK:

HERE COMES AN EASY WAY TO MULTIPLY THE 3 - DIGIT

NUMBERS WHICH ARE THE NEAREST MULTIPLES OF

100 .

Eg: 206*208
Step 1:

Let us consider multiplication of three digit numbers

208 x 206.

Step 2:
Now, deduct the last digit from the respective
numerals.
208 - 8 = 200
206 - 6 = 200

Step 3:
Pick any one number and add it with the units digit of
another number.
208 + 6 = 214
Step 4:

Now, multiply the result obtained in step 3 and step 2.

214 * 200 = 42800

Step 5:
Then, multiply the unit digits of the given numbers.
8 * 6 = 48

Step 6:
Add the values obtained in step 4 and step 5.
42800 + 48 = 42848

ANS: 208 x 206 = 42848
