Step 1: Place larger number above the smaller number so that the hundreds’, tens' and ones' places are lined up. Write the multiplication sign below the top number and draw a line below the bottom number.

Step 2: Multiply the number in the ones' place of the bottom number with the number in the ones' place of the top number; 2x3 =6; write 6 in the ones place.

Step 3: Multiply the number in the ones' place of the bottom number with the number in the tens place of the top number; 3x3 =9; write 9 in the tens place.
