If you wish to do this problem in your head - break the problem down. 45 multiplied by 45 -----------------------------------------

 

 45                                         40           40        40         5

x45      is the same as ----->  x40    +  x   5  +  x  5   +  x 5

----                                        -----        -----      -----      -----

2,025                                   1600   +  200   +  200   +  25

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Another example:

 23                                         20           20        40         5

x45      is the same as ----->  x40    +  x   5  +  x  3   +  x 3

----                                        -----        -----      -----      -----

1,035                                    800   +  100   +  120   +  15

Here is a trick to multiplying numbers that end in 5(i. e., when squaring them): Eample: 45 x 45 =

1) First multiply the 4 by next higher digit, or 5 in this case: 4x5 =20. Then multiply 5 by itself as usual:

5x5 =25. And so the answer is:2025!. 75 x 75 =5625. or 95x95 =9025.....and so on.
