Overview

Multiplication is one of the most important operations in mathematics. It helps us add the same number many times quickly. In Class 4, we learn how to multiply large numbers, understand the rules of multiplication, and use shortcuts to make calculations faster. This chapter builds strong foundations

Key Concepts

We multiply step by step

We multiply step by step — first by the ones digit, then by the tens digit (after placing a zero). Finally, we add both results. For example, to multi

There are special rules

There are special rules: (1) Any number × 1 = the number itself. (2) Any number × 0 = 0. (3) Order doesn’t matter — 5 × 3 = 3 × 5 (Commutative Propert

To multiply by 10

To multiply by 10, add one zero at the end. For 100, add two zeroes. For 1000, add three zeroes. For example: 45 × 10 = 450, 45 × 100 = 4500, 45 × 100

We can multiply 4

We can multiply 4-digit or 5-digit numbers by 2-digit or 3-digit numbers using the column method. We multiply each digit one by one, shift left with z
