Question

Show how to solve 378*6 using place value with regrouping. Explain how you knew when to regroup.

Answer 1

To regroup 378 x 6, you must first establish the place values of each digit. 3 has a place value of 300, because it is in the hundreds column; 7 has a place value of 70 because it is in the tens column; 8 has a place value of 8 because it is in the units column. This means you can regroup 378 x 6 as (300 x 6) + (70 x 6) + (8 x 6). This makes 2,268.
