400 ϫ 8,000 ϭ 3,200,000 Compute the answer. Write the multiplier under the multiplicand, placing digits in 7812 proper place positions. ϫ 436 46 872 Multiply the multiplicand by the units of the multiplier, using 234 36 the procedure for short multiplication. This answer is called 3 124 8 the first partial product. 3 , 4 0 6 , 0 3 2 Ans 6 ϫ 7,812 ϭ 46,872 Write the first partial product, starting at the units position and going from right to left. Multiply the multiplicand by the tens of the multiplier to get the second partial product.

Evaluate. 28 ϩ 16 Ϭ 4 Solution. 28 16 4 32 Ans Because the calculator has algebraic logic, the division operation (16 Ϭ 4) was performed before the addition operation (adding 28) was performed. NOTE: If the calculator does not have algebraic logic, the answer to the expression if solved in the order as shown is incorrect: 28 16 4 11 INCORRECT ANSWER. The calculator merely performed the operations in the order entered, without assigning priorities to various operations, and gave an incorrect answer.
