Step
II: First multiply the digit at the ones place by 4.
4 × 4 = 16 = 1 ten + 6 ones
Write 6 in the ones column and carry 1 ten to tens place.

1 hundred × 4 = 4 hundreds
4 hundreds + 2 hundreds (carried) = 6 hundreds
Write 6 in hundreds place.
Step V: Multiply the digit at thousands place by 4.
2 thousands × 4 = 8 thousands
Write 8 in thousands place.
2. Multiply 7325 and 9.

2 × 9 = 18 tens
18 + 4 (carried) = 22 tens = 2 hundreds + 2 ten
Write 2 in ten place and carry 2 hundreds to hundreds place.
Step IV: Multiply the digit at hundreds place by 9.
3 × 9 = 27 hundreds
27 hundreds + 2 hundreds (carried) = 29 hundreds = 2 thousands + 9 hundreds
Write 9 in hundreds place and carry 2 thousands to thousands place.
