2. Crosswise Multiplication Addition (i.e. Crosswise Multiplication and adding them).
3. Vertical Multiplication of last digits of the numbers.
4. For all steps, except 1st step, each step (compartment) needs to have ONLY 1 digits. If not then carry forward initial digits to previous compartment (Check below examples to understand).
