Lattice Multiplication with Decimals Step-by-Step

3. 42 x 6. 9 = I want to learn how to multiply decimals using the lattice method!

3. 42 x 6. 9 Make a grid the exact size of your problem. A 2 -digit number times a 3 digit number uses a 2 x 3 grid. Draw a diagonal line in each box. 3 4 2 6 9

3. 42 x 6. 9 Place the decimal point above/beside the line in the grid. 3 . 4 2 . 6 9

3. 42 x 6. 9 . Multiply 6 x 2 and place the answer in the grid where the lines meet. 3 4 1 2 6 2 9 .

3. 42 x 6. 9 . Multiply 4 x 6 and place the answer in the grid where the lines meet. 3 4 2 4 1 2 . 2 6 9

3. 42 x 6. 9 Multiply 3 x 6 and place the answer in the grid where the lines meet. With some numbers, we use a zero as a place holder. For example 1 x 5 = 5, we would place 0 and 5 in the grid. 1 . 3 8 4 2 4 1 2 . 2 6 9

3. 42 x 6. 9 . Multiply 2 x 9 and place the answer in the grid where the lines meet. 1 3 8 4 2 4 1 2 . 2 6 1 9 8

3. 42 x 6. 9 . Multiply 4 x 9 and place the answer in the grid where the lines meet. 1 3 8 4 2 1 2 . 2 6 3 1 9 6 8 4

3. 42 x 6. 9 . Multiply 3 x 9 and place the answer in the grid where the lines meet. 1 3 4 2 1 2 . 2 6 2 3 1 9 7 6 8 8 4

3. 42 x 6. 9 Now add the diagonals and place the answer below the grid. Be sure to carry to the next diagonal if you have a 2 digit answer. 1 . 3 4 2 1 2 . 2 6 2 3 1 9 7 6 8 8 8 4

3. 42 x 6. 9 Now add the diagonals and place the answer below the grid. Don’t forget to carry to the next diagonal if you have a 2 digit answer. 1 . 3 4 2 1 2 . 2 6 2 3 1 9 7 6 8 9 8 8 4

3. 42 x 6. 9 Now add the diagonals and place the answer below the grid. Be sure to carry to the next diagonal if you have a 2 digit answer. 1 . 3 4 2 +1 1 2 . 2 6 2 3 1 9 7 6 8 5 9 8 8 4

3. 42 x 6. 9 Now add the diagonals and place the answer below the grid. Be sure to carry to the next diagonal if you have a 2 digit answer. 1 . 3 +1 4 2 +1 1 2 . 2 6 2 3 1 9 3 7 6 8 5 9 8 8 4

3. 42 x 6. 9 Now add the diagonals and place the answer below the grid. 1 2 . 3 +1 4 2 +1 1 2 . 2 6 2 3 1 9 3 7 6 8 5 9 8 8 4

3. 42 x 6. 9 Now you need to place the decimal. Follow the lines until they meet. 1 2 . 3 +1 4 2 +1 1 2 . 2 6 2 3 1 9 3 7 6 8 5 9 8 8 4

3. 42 x 6. 9 Now drop down the diagonal to place the decimal. 1 2 . 3 +1 4 2 +1 1 2 . 2 6 2 3 1 9 3 7 6 8 5 9 8 . 8 4

3. 42 x 6. 9 Your answer is 23. 598 1 2 . 3 +1 4 2 +1 1 2 . 2 6 2 3 1 9 3 7 6 8 5 9 8 . 8 4

That is so cool, thanks! 3. 42 x 6. 9 = 23. 598
