Question

1,249 × 2 =

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply each digit by 2

First, consider the number \(1249\) (the comma is a thousands separator, so \(1,249 = 1249\)). Multiply each digit: \(9\times2 = 18\), write down 8 and carry over 1. \(4\times2 = 8\), add the carried 1: \(8 + 1 = 9\). \(2\times2 = 4\). \(1\times2 = 2\).

Step2: Combine the results

Putting the digits together, we get \(2498\). Wait, actually, let's do it properly: \(1249\times2=(1000 + 200+40 + 9)\times2=1000\times2+200\times2 + 40\times2+9\times2=2000 + 400+80 + 18=2000+400 = 2400; 2400+80 = 2480; 2480+18 = 2498\).

Answer:

\(2498\)
