What is 56 multiplyed by 3?

Answer 1

168

Answer 2

Multiplication is a quick way to add. So, to get the answer of 56 times 3, you could add:

56

56

+56

answer

but it becomes easier to use multiplication.

56

x3

answer

So to solve for the answer, you would first multiply the 6 (in 56), by 3 and your answer is 18. So, you would write down the 8, and carry the one to add after you multiply 5 x 3.

Multiplying the number 5 by 3 you get 15, but remember, you carried the one from 6 x 3, now you add that to 15 to get 16. Therefore, your answer would be 168.
