You should have noticed that the product of any number from one to nine times eleven is just the number doubled.

For example, 9 x 11 = 99. The answer is just nine doubled.

There is also a simple trick for determining the product of any number from ten to eighteen times eleven. To find the product for these problems, write the sum of the digits between the digits.

See the examples below for a visual.

  11 x 10 = 110 1 (1 + 0) 0 = 110
  11 x 11 = 121 1 (1 + 1) 1 = 121
  11 x 12 = 132 1 (1 + 2) 2 = 132
