Multiply 108 by 3.

Arrange the numbers vertically.
First, multiply the digit at the one’s place by 3, i.e., 8 x 3 =24.
Write 4 in the ones column and carry over 2 to the tens column.

$1a$

Explanation:

In this step, multiply the digit in the one’s place by 3. For instance, if the digit is 8, multiply it by 3, resulting in 24. Write down 4 in the one’s column and carry over 2 to the tens column.

Step: 2

Next, multiply the digit in the tens place by 3 i.e., 0 × 3 = 0
Add the carry over 2 to 0. So, 2 in the ten’s place.

$2a$

Explanation:

When 3 is multiplied by 0, we get 0. Now, we need to add the carry-over 2 to 0 and get 2.

Step: 3

Now multiply the digit in the hundreds’ place by 3
1 × 3 = 3
Write 3 in the hundreds’ place.

Thus, the product of 108 and 3 is 324.

$3a$

Explanation:

In this step, finally, multiply 3 by the digit in the hundreds place, i.e., 1 × 3 = 3, and write 3 in the hundreds place. Hence, 108 × 3 = 324.
