Multiplying multi-digit numbers and decimals
To multiply by a two-digit number, multiply by the ones digit, then by the tens digit using a zero placeholder, and add the two partial products. For decimals, multiply as if there were no decimal points, then place the decimal point so the answer has as many decimal places as both factors combined.
Worked examples
- 47 × 36: 47 × 6 = 282 and 47 × 30 = 1,410. Adding gives 1,692.
- 3.2 × 1.5: 32 × 15 = 480, and since there are two decimal places in total, the answer is 4.80, which is 4.8.
- Estimate 47 × 36 as 50 × 36 = 1,800, which is close to 1,692.
Common slips
- Leaving out the zero placeholder in the tens row, which makes the second product ten times too small.
- Misplacing the decimal point. 3.2 × 1.5 is not 48 or 0.48.
- Adding the partial products without lining them up by place value.
How to use this worksheet
Ask students to write the partial products on separate lines and to estimate first. Compare with the answer key.

A smaller factor range is useful when a class is isolating a new fact family. Increase the maximum factor for mixed review after the facts have been introduced.
Keep the operation focused when fluency is the goal. Use the mixed-operation mode on the main generator only when students are ready to switch among operation signs without losing accuracy.
Single-digit fact fluency is CCSS 3.OA.C.7; multi-digit multiplication is 4.NBT.B.5 and 5.NBT.B.5. In multi-digit products the frequent error is dropping the place-value zero on the second partial product: for 23 times 45, the tens row is 920, not 92.
For timed or repeated practice, use a new seed instead of changing the difficulty. The mathematical demand stays constant while the order and combinations change.

Common questions
Can I make multiplication facts up to 12?
Yes. Set the maximum factor to 12. You can also choose smaller limits for targeted fact-family practice.
Which grade level is this for?
Fluent single-digit facts are CCSS 3.OA.C.7. Multi-digit multiplication is 4.NBT.B.5, and the standard algorithm is 5.NBT.B.5.
Can I generate a new version with the same settings?
Yes. Click New problems. The settings stay the same while the seed changes and a fresh problem set is created.
Are answer keys optional?
Yes. You can preview answers on screen and separately choose whether the printed/PDF version includes an answer-key page.
