Tough Multiplication

When multiplying large numbers, if one of the numbers is even, divide the first number in half, and then double the second number. This method will solve the problem quickly.

For example, 20 x 120

Step 1: Divide the 20 by 2, which equals 10

Step 2: Double 120, which equals 240

Step 2: Then multiply your two answers together

10 x 240 = 2400

The answer to 20 x 120 is 2,400
