1. I write the numbers one below the other, aligning the digits according to their place value. The smaller number should be written at the bottom.
2. I multiply  the digit in the ones position of the bottom number by each of the digits in the top number.
3. I write 0 in the ones place under the result.
4. I multiply the number in the tens position of the bottom number by each of the digits in the top number.
5. I add the 2 results written below the line to get the final product.

35 × 162 = ?

I write the numbers one below the other, aligning the digits according to their place value. The smaller number should be written at the bottom. I write the number 35 at the bottom since it is smaller than 162.
I multiply the digit in the ones place of the bottom number by each of the digits in the top number.
I write 0 in the ones place under the result.
I multiply the digit in the tens position of the number below by each of the digits in the number above.
I add the two results written below the line to get the final product.
