What is 62 multiplied by 87?

1. Multiply 62 by the ones digit of 87: 62 x 7 = 434. 2. Multiply 62 by the tens digit of 87: 62 x 8 = 496, then place a zero as a placeholder, giving 4,960. 3. Add the two partial products: 434 + 4,960. 4. 434 + 4,960 = 5,394. 5. 5,344 and 5,494 come from small errors carrying between the partial products, and 4,394 comes from misplacing the placeholder zero in the second partial product. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 1 "Whole Numbers", section 1.4 Multiply Whole Numbers_
