Question

Compute: 245 * 1,493. Show your work.

Answer 1

0 + 0 + 5 = 5

0 + 2 + 6 = 8

6 + 7 + 4 = 17
Put the 7 in the appropriate column and carry the 1.

8 + 9 + 7 + 1(carried) = 25
Put the 5 in the appropriate column and carry the 2.

9 + 5 + 2(carried) = 16
Put the 6 in the appropriate column and carry the 1.

2 + 1(carried) = 3

So: 1493 × 245 = 365785
