Multiplying a 5-digit number by
9091, then
by 11; subtract 1200
- Choose a 5-digit number.
- Multiply by 9091 and multiply the product by 11.
- The second product is a 10-digit number: the original number and a repeat of
the digits.
- Subtract 1200.
Example:
- If the first number is 34986:
- The answer to the two multiplications is 3498634986
- Subtract 1200: 3498634986 - 1200 = 3498633786
- So 34986 x 9091 x 11 = 3,498,633,786.
See the pattern?
- If the first number is 22854:
- The answer to the two multiplications is 2285422854
- Subtract 1200: 2285422854 - 1200 = 2285421654
- So 22854 x 9091 x 11 = 2,285,421,654.
