Multiply 6 by 2=12 Now you know that 12*x*=the biggest number you can get under 98. You must calculate * (* is a digit). 120x0=0 Put 0 in your answer line. Do 98-0=98 Put down the next two digits (if there aren't any, put down 00). Do it again! 60x2=120 120*x*=closest to 9800 1208x8=9664 Put 8 on the answer line, 9800-9664=146, put down 00, and so on until you get 0 when you do your number minus the product.
