Next, let's check the solution.
Box method of multiplication:
Step 1: Make a table with the place values of the first factor at the top and the
place
values of the second factor on the left.
Step 2: Multiply the place values. Enter the products in the table.
Step 3: Sum up the values in the row of the table.
Step 4: Add the row sums. This will result in the product of the original numbers.
Let's go on step by step
Step 1
Make a table with the place values of the first factor at the top and the
place
values of the second factor on the left.
12 x 11 = (
10 + 2
) x (
10 + 1
)

Step 2
Multiply the place values. Enter the products in the table.
Simplify the table as shown below.
Step 3
Sum up the values in the row of the table.
Step 4
Add the row sums. This will result in the product of the original numbers.
1,300 + 26 = 1,326
So, 26 × 51 = 1,326.
