A student multiplied 7236 by 65 instead of multiplying by 56. By how much was his answer greater than the correct answer?

To find out how much the student's answer was greater than the correct answer, you need to calculate the difference between the two products.

The student multiplied 7236 by 65 instead of 56. Let's calculate both products:

Student's answer = 7236 × 65 Correct answer = 7236 × 56

Now, find the difference:

Difference = Student's answer - Correct answer Difference = (7236 × 65) - (7236 × 56)

To simplify the calculation, you can factor out 7236:

Difference = 7236 × (65 - 56)

Now, calculate the difference:

Difference = 7236 × 9

Difference = 65,124

So, the student's answer was greater than the correct answer by 65,124.
