Let us understand how it works by multiplying 63852 X 11
Step 1: Keep the unit digit of 63852 as same i.e. 2
Step 2: Add the corresponding number together i.e. 2 + 5 = 7 and place the number obtained in step 1 to left of it i.e. 72
Step 3: Add the corresponding number together i.e. 5 + 8 = 13 and place 3 to the number obtained in step 2 to left of it i.e. 372 and keep the carry 1 to be added in the next step.
Step 4: Add the corresponding number together i.e. 8 + 3 = 11 and add to it carry 1 from previous step i.e. 11 + 1 = 12, place 2 to the number obtained in step 3 to left of it i.e. 2372 and keep the carry 1 to be added in the next step.
Step 5: Add the corresponding number together i.e. 3 + 6 = 9 and add to it carry 1 from previous step i.e. 9 + 1 = 10, place 0 to the number obtained in step 4 to left of it i.e. 02372 and keep the carry 1 to be added in the next step.
Step 6: Keep the first digit i.e. 6 as it is and add the carry to it from the previous step i.e. 6 + 1 = 7 4 to left of it i.e. 702372
