Multiplying By 1111:

   A.  Multiplying by 1111 is very similar to multiplying by 111 except you will be adding 4 digits at a time instead of 3.  See the Ex [1] below for an illustration:

Ex [1]  3414 x 1111 =_________.

a)  Write down 4.

                       4

                          |

      3    4    1    4

b)  1 + 4 = 5.  Write down 5.

                    5

                  __|__

      3    4    1    4

c)  4 + 1 + 4 = 9.  Write down 9.

                  9

             _____|_____

      3    4    1    4

d)  3 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 12.  Write down 2, carry *1.

            12

        ________|_________

     3    4    1    4

e)  3 + 4 + 1 = 8 + *1 = 9.  Write down 9.

          8+*1

         _____|_____

      3    4    1    4

f)  3 + 4 = 7.  Write down 7.

         7

       __|__

      3    4    1    4

g)  Write down 3.

      3

      |

      3    4    1    4

h)  The answer is 3792954.

Ex [2]  124 x 1111 =_________.

a)  When multiplying by 1111, you must multiply a 4-digit number for this method to work, so think of 124 as being 0124.

b)  Write down 4.

c)  2 + 4 = 6.  Write down 6.

d)  1 + 2 + 4 = 7.  Write down 7.

e)  0 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 7.  Write down 7.

f)  0 + 1 + 2 = 3.  Write down 3.

g)  0 + 1 = 1.  Write down 1.

h)  Since we do not write 0 at the beginning of numbers the final answer is 137764.
