If you need to multiply a larger number by 42, you can break the number down into smaller parts and use the distributive property of multiplication. For example, let’s say you need to multiply 126 by 42. You can break 126 down into 100 + 20 + 6, and then use the distributive property to multiply each part by 42:
126 = 100 + 20 + 6
126 x 42 = (100 x 42) + (20 x 42) + (6 x 42)
126 x 42 = 4200 + 840 + 252
126 x 42 = 5292
So, the result of multiplying 126 by 42 is 5292. This method can be used for larger numbers as well, by breaking them down into smaller parts and multiplying each part by 42 before adding them together.
