Step 1) (1*2) (12*3) (123*4)

= (02) (0 36 ) (4 92)
0 Carry = 4
= 2 40 92 (Ripple carry addition by taking two digit as sum)

First number = 24092 * 20 = 481840

Step 1) (2*0) (20*3) (203*4) (2034*1)

= (00) (0 60 ) (8 12) (20 34)
0 8 Carry = 20
= 0 68 32 34

First number = 683234 * 20 = 13664680

3) (1204)

Step 1) (12) (120) (1204)
Step 2) Multiply each number in parenthesis by its tens and unit place.
i.e. (12 * 1 * 2) (120 * 12*0) (1204 * 120 * 4)

= (024) (0 000 ) (577 920)
0 Carry = 577
= 024 577 920 (Ripple carry addition by taking three digit as sum)

First number = 24577920 * 30 = 737337600

Step 3) Second number = 001 008 000 064
