7 multiplied by 56 equals 392.
To understand why, let’s break it down. Multiplication is essentially repeated addition. When you multiply 7 by 56, you are adding the number 56 a total of 7 times:
56 + 56 + 56 + 56 + 56 + 56 + 56 = 392
You can also use the traditional multiplication method, where you can multiply step-by-step:
- 7 × 6 = 42 (write down 2 and carry over 4)
- 7 × 5 = 35, and add the 4 from the previous step = 39
Putting it all together gives you 392. So, whether you’re using addition or multiplication, the answer remains the same!
