Step 2The easy bit.
You don't get your final answer by magic, but it's not too hard as long as you know your basic tables up to 9.
Multiply each digit on the top row by each digit on the side column. This can mean doing quite a few calculations, but they are all simple.
If the result of a calculation has two digits, the "tens" digit gets written above the diagonal line, and the "units" digit gets written below it. For instance, 6x7=42, so write the 4 above and the 2 below (4/2).
If the result of a calculation is only one digit, write a zero above the diagonal line (2x3=6, so you write 0/6)
(You would not normally do this in coloured ink, but I have used it for clarity.)
