Example 2:

  • First multiply 153 by 2.

Multiply 3 by 2 (3 × 2 = 6).

Now multiply 5 tens by 2. Since the product of 5 and 2 is greater than 9 (5 × 2 = 10), put the 0 in the tens place and carry 1 hundred (100) to the hundreds place.

Now multiply 1 hundred by 2. Remember to add the 1 hundred that you carried (1 hundred × 2 = 2 hundreds + 1 hundred = 3 hundreds).
