To solve \( 14 \times 3 \) using the breakdown method, you can break down the number 14 into more manageable parts. Here's how to do it:
1. Break down 14 into 10 and 4:
\[
14 = 10 + 4
\]
2. Now, multiply each part by 3:
\[
14 \times 3 = (10 + 4) \times 3
\]
This can be distributed as:
\[
(10 \times 3) + (4 \times 3)
\]
3. Calculate each multiplication:
\[
10 \times 3 = 30
\]
\[
4 \times 3 = 12
\]
4. Now, add the two results together:
\[
30 + 12 = 42
\]
Therefore, \( 14 \times 3 = 42 \).
