# Multiplication by 111, 1111, ... (Speed Math)

Prerequisite: multiplication by $11$

## Example 1: Calculate 752 × 111

Add digits of $752$ like this (add up to the depth of $3$ as the number of ones in $111$ is $3$)

$7\quad 7+5\quad 7+5+2\quad 5+2\quad 2$

Rewrite with the sum of digits

$7\quad 12\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}4\quad 7\quad 2$

In $14$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $12$

$7\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}3\quad 4\quad 7\quad 2$

In $13$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $7$

$8\quad 3\quad 4\quad 7\quad 2$

answer $=83472$

## Example 2: Calculate 57 × 111

Since $111$ has $3$ ones, write $57$ as $057.$ Add digits of $057$ like this (add up to the depth of $3$ as the number of ones in $111$ is $3$)

$0\quad 0+5\quad 0+5+7\quad 5+7\quad 7$

Rewrite with the sum of digits

$0\quad 5\quad 12\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}2\quad 7$

In $12$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $12$

$0\quad 5\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}3\quad 2\quad 7$

In $13$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $5$

$0\quad 6\quad 3\quad 2\quad 7$

answer $=06327=6327$

## Example 3: Calculate 2573 × 111

Add digits of $2573$ like this (add up to the depth of $3$ as the number of ones in $111$ is $3$)

$2\quad 2+5\quad 2+5+7\quad 5+7+3\quad 7+3\quad 3$

Rewrite with the sum of digits

$2\quad 7\quad 14\quad 15\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}0\quad 3$

In $10$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $15$

$2\quad 7\quad 14\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}6\quad 0\quad 3$

In $16$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $14$

$2\quad 7\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}5\quad 6\quad 0\quad 3$

In $15$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $7$

$2\quad 8\quad 5\quad 6\quad 0\quad 3$

answer $=285603$

## Example 4: Calculate 1257 × 1111

Add digits of $1257$ like this (add up to the depth of $4$ as the number of ones in $1111$ is $4$)

$1\quad 1+2\quad 1+2+5\quad 1+2+5+7\quad 2+5+7\quad 5+7\quad 7$

Rewrite with the sum of digits

$1\quad 3\quad 8\quad 15\quad 14\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}2\quad 7$

In $12$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $14$

$1\quad 3\quad 8\quad 15\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}5\quad 2\quad 7$

In $15$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $15$

$1\quad 3\quad 8\quad \class{bd p-5}{1}6\quad 5\quad 2\quad 7$

In $16$ shown above, take $1$ as carry. Add this $1$ to its left neighbor number $8$

$1\quad 3\quad 9\quad 6\quad 5\quad 2\quad 7$

answer $=1396527$

938*111

9  (9+3)  (9+3+8)  (3+8)  8

9  (2, c=1)  (0, c=2)  (1, c=1)  8

10  4  1  1  8

i.e., 104118

see here is another method

1257+12570+125700 ---- add one zero from the second digit of 111

suppose 11111*1257 ---- add those numbers

1257+12570+125700+1257000+12570000 ---- add one zero from the second digit of 11111
