Question

How do you solve `754 * 173`?

Answer 1

`754*173 = 130442`

Explanation:

If calculating by hand, it may be easiest to write out the multiples of `173` up to `173xx7` first:

`1color(white)(000)173`
`2color(white)(000)346`
`3color(white)(000)519`
`4color(white)(000)692`
`5color(white)(000)865`
`6color(white)(00)1038`
`7color(white)(00)1211`

Then:

`754*173 = (700*173)+(50*173)+(4*173)`

`=121100+8650+692`

Easiest to write in a column to add up:

`color(white)(+)121100`
`color(white)(00)+8650`
`color(white)(000)+692`
`color(white)()`
`color(white)(+)130442`
