Multiply the digits, then place the zeros

9 × 80 is 9 × 8 tens: 72 tens, or 720. Common Core 3.NBT.3 asks third graders for these, one digit times a multiple of 10 from 10 to 90. Break the tens apart: 7 × 20 = (7 × 2) × 10 writes the step out. The same move gives 6 × 700 = 4,200 and 30 × 40 = 1,200.

Watch the fact that ends in zero

50 × 40 = 2,000 has three zeros, because 5 × 4 = 20 brings one of its own. Pupils who count zeros without multiplying write 200. An extra zero: 50 × 40 = 2,000 holds only such problems.

  • Which number times 40 makes 280? is a first look at dividing by tens: 280 ÷ 40 = 7.
  • A multiples of 10 multiplication worksheet is quick to mark aloud: read out the answers while pupils mark their own.

Questions and answers

What is a multiple of 10?

A number you land on when you count in tens: 10, 20, 30 and so on. Every one ends in 0. Write the multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30 and on is a multiples of 10 worksheet for listing them before any multiplying starts.

Is there a multiplying by multiples of 10 100 and 1000 worksheet?

Yes. Choose 1 digit × tens, hundreds and thousands mixed under Sheet type: 6 × 70, 6 × 700 and 6 × 7,000 can share one page, so pupils must count the zeros each time.

What grade multiplies by multiples of 10?

Grade 3 for one digit times tens, in Common Core. Grade 4 multiplies up to four digits by one digit and two two-digit numbers, 4.NBT.5. Grade 5 explains the pattern of zeros when multiplying by powers of 10, 5.NBT.2.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. The key prints as the last page with every product filled in. To print the problems alone, untick Answer key before you press Print.

Multiples of 10 and why the zeros work 2

  • Break the tens apart: 7 × 20 = (7 × 2) × 10 The reasoning written out, with blanks to fill. For 7 × 20 the pupil writes 20 as 2 × 10, moves the brackets so that 7 × 2 comes first, and finishes with 14 × 10 = 140. Each line turns a multiple of 10 into a table fact and one multiplication by 10.
  • Write the multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30 and on Rows that count in tens with the first two numbers printed: 70, 80, ___, ___, ___, ___. Pupils write the next four multiples of 10, here 90, 100, 110 and 120. Rows start anywhere from 10 to 150.

One digit times tens, hundreds, thousands 5

  • 1 digit × hundreds: 6 × 700 One more zero: 6 × 700 = 4,200, because 6 × 7 = 42 and the 7 stood for hundreds. Second factors run from 100 to 900.
  • 1 digit × tens, hundreds and thousands mixed All three sizes shuffled, so the zeros have to be counted each time: 6 × 70 = 420, 6 × 700 = 4,200 and 6 × 7,000 = 42,000 can share a page.

One digit times tens, hundreds, thousands, continued

  • 1 digit × tens: 9 × 80 and 5 × 60 The sheet the page opens on: 30 problems such as 9 × 80 = 720 and 5 × 60 = 300, a one-digit number times a multiple of 10 from 10 to 90. These are the sizes, and the two examples, that Common Core 3.NBT.3 gives for grade 3.
  • 1 digit × thousands: 4 × 6,000 4 × 6,000 = 24,000: 4 × 6 = 24, in thousands. Second factors run from 1,000 to 9,000, the largest numbers grade 4 multiplies by one digit.
  • The round number first: 30 × 8 and 500 × 4 The same products turned round: 30 × 8 = 240 and 500 × 4 = 2,000. The first factor is a multiple of 10 or of 100 and the second has one digit.

Tens times tens and larger 4

  • 2-digit × tens: 34 × 20 A two-digit number times a multiple of 10 from 20 to 90, written across: 34 × 20 = 680. Double 34 to get 68, then write the zero. Common Core 4.NBT.5 has grade 4 multiply two two-digit numbers with place value strategies.
  • An extra zero: 50 × 40 = 2,000 Only the problems that catch pupils out. 5 × 4 = 20 already ends in a zero, so 50 × 40 = 2,000 has three zeros, not two. One factor is 50 or 500 and the other is 20, 40, 60 or 80.
  • Tens × hundreds: 20 × 500 Three zeros to place: 70 × 400 = 28,000, from 7 × 4 = 28. Where the fact itself ends in zero there is one more: 20 × 500 = 10,000.
  • Tens × tens: 30 × 40 Both factors are multiples of 10: 30 × 40 = 1,200. Multiply 3 × 4 = 12, then write the two zeros, one from each factor.

Missing factors and word problems 3

  • Missing tens: 7 × ___ = 280 This time the multiple of 10 is missing: 7 × ___ = 280. 7 × 4 = 28, so 7 × 40 = 280. Every answer is a number from 10 to 90 that ends in zero.
  • Which number times 40 makes 280? The one-digit factor is a blank at the front of each line, as in 7 × 40 = 280 with the 7 missing. 28 tens are 7 lots of 4 tens, so the blank is 7. A first look at dividing by a multiple of 10.
  • Word problems: boxes, spools and cartons of tens Equal groups whose size is a multiple of 10: a spool holds 50 feet of wire, so 4 spools hold 4 × 50 = 200 feet. Six stories a page, with the multiplication printed beside each answer on the key.

How this list was compiled: Sheet types, word problem wording and worked examples are own work; every worked example was computed twice by script on 2026-09-30. Grades and number sizes were checked the same day in the full text of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (California Department of Education copy, https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/ccssmathstandardaug2013.pdf): 3.NBT.3 (one-digit whole numbers times multiples of 10 in the range 10 to 90, with the examples 9 × 80 and 5 × 60), 4.NBT.5 (up to four digits by one digit, and two two-digit numbers, using place value and the properties of operations) and 5.NBT.2 (patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying by powers of 10).
