Rounding to Estimate Multi-Digit Products
Round each factor to the nearest basic fact to estimate the product without having to calculate it. This can make it easier to quickly determine the approximate answer. For example, if the product of 12 and 34 is needed, round each factor to 10 and 30 to get an approximate answer of 300.

Did you know?
When estimating products of two-digit numbers, the product of the last digits is always a multiple of 10. The first digit of the product is always equal to the sum of the first digits of the two factors. Estimation can help you calculate the approximate answers to math problems faster than using a calculator.
