    42 Here is the first part of the equation. you multply 363x7
    363 That will give you 2541.. however you are not done yet.
    x 37 NOw for the second part. you must automatically place a zero below the 1 in 2541
    = 2541 and then multiply 363x3, once you get this number add the 2541 and 10890.
    +10890 <<<< see the zero... you must ad this for the equation to work out.

    Then you take 2541 and 10890 and add them together to get your answer.

    11
    2541
    +10890
    =13431

    and there is your answer.... got it?

    It's the same as adding 363 up 37 times.

    Most elementary kids aren't allowed calculators in class. That's the whole point.

    363
    x 37
    ______

    7*3 = 21 -> put the 1 down, carry the 2
    7*6 = 42 -> add the 2 you carried
    42+2 = 44 -> put the 4 down, carry the 4
    7*3 = 21 -> add the 4 you carried
    21+4 = 25 -> put the 2 and the 5 down

    - At this point you should have 2541

    363
    x 37
    ______
    2541

    - Now you must put a 0 in the ones column before multiplying with the 3

    363
    x 37
    ______
    2541
    0

    3*3 = 9 -> put the 9 down
    3*6 = 18 -> put the 8 down, carry the 1
    3*3 = 9 -> add the 1 you carried
    9+1 = 10 -> put the 1 and the 0 down

    - Your second number should be 10890

    363
    x 37
    ______
    2541
    10890

    - Now you want to add those two numbers together

    363
    x 37
    ______
    2541
    10890
    ______
    13431

    if the above is to confusing you can first multiply 363 x 7 then separately multiply 363 x 3 then add the 0 at the end ( if you think you might forget do 363 x 30)

    the add the two numbers u get
