It is useful for you to be able to multiply and divide without using a calculator. Learn how to do this using short division and short multiplication.
In this method the smaller number is partitioned (broken down into tens and units).
Use the partition method to work out \({352}\times{27}\).
\({27}\) is broken down into \({20}\) and \({7}\).
\({27}\) is broken down into \({10}\), \({10}\) and \({7}\).
The method of partitioning into tens, simplifies the multiplication further because to multiply successively by \({10}\) is to simply move the digits one place to the left.
