13 x 100 = 1300
13 times 100 is 1300. Two zeros go onto the 13. If you would rather check it than trust it, splitting 13 into 10 and 3 does the job in two easy steps.
13 × 100 = 1,300
Adding 13 to itself 100 times gives the same answer.
13 x 100 = 1300
Two zeros attach to the 13, giving 1,300 – one thousand three hundred.
Split it if you want to check
13 breaks into 10 and 3, and both pieces are trivial against 100:
- 10 x 100 = 1000
- 3 x 100 = 300
- 1000 + 300 = 1300
That split is really the whole of the thirteen times table. 13 x 7, for example, is 70 + 21 = 91.
About 1300
- 13 is prime, so 1300 factors as 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 13 and 13 is its only factor larger than five.
- On a 24-hour clock, 1300 is 1 p.m.
- 1300 seconds is 21 minutes and 40 seconds.
Near misses
13 x 10 is 130, not 1300 – the zeros come from the multiplier, so count them there. Either side of this page sit 11 x 100 = 1100 and 14 x 100 = 1400, with 100 x 12 = 1200 one step below. All of them are indexed on multiplication answers.
