Answer:
31,840
Explanation:
A simple way to work this out is to write out the problem like this:
796
x 40
Starting with the bottom numbers from 0any number times 0 is 0 so you can put all the products as 0:
796
x 40
000
And then we move on to 4, multipplying by 6 then 9 and finally by 7. But we have to remember to carry, if 4 x 6 equals 24 which is a double digit number than you just put down the 4 and carry the 2:
2
796
x 40
000
4
You always start the next line of products by skipping a unit. And now you continue on to the 9, once you multiply the 9 and get 36 you have to add the 2 that you carried, which will give you 38 instead. Remeber to carry the 3:
32
796
x 40
000
84
4 x 7 is 28, add the carried 3 and it becomes 31. But now since we are at the last digit we wont be putting down the 1 and carrying the 3 we will down the whole 31:
32
796
x 40
000
3184
The final step to get our answer is to add together our products:
32
796
x 40
00000
+ 31840 (A zero can be placed here next to the 4 and above the 3 and 1, just to hold place to avoid confusion, since we didnt actually get those numbers.)
Our final product is 31,840
