Multiplying By 25:

1.  You can rewrite 25 to be 100 ÷ 4.  So the first step is to divide by 4 and write this number down.

2.  Depending on the remainder, referred to as (n MOD 4), the last numbers are the following:

a)  If (n MOD 4) = 0 then the last numbers are 00.

b)  If (n MOD 4) = 1 then the last numbers are 25.

c)  If (n MOD 4) = 2 then the last numbers are 50.

d)  If (n MOD 4) = 3 then the last numbers are 75.

Ex [1]  25 x 84 =_________.

a)  84 ÷ 4 = 21.  Write 21.

b)  Since there is no remainder the last numbers are 00.

c)  The answer is 2100.

Ex [2]  113 x 25 =_________.

a)  113 ÷ 4 = 18 with a remainder of 1.  Write 18.

b)  The last numbers are 25.

c)  The answer is 1825.
