Observe the pattern below: 1 × 11 = 11 11 × 11 = 121 111 × 11 = 1221 1111 × 11 = 12221 Write next two steps. Explain how this pattern works.

Given, 1 × 11 = 11 11 × 11 = 121 111 × 11 = 1221 1111 × 11 = 12221 The pattern involves multiplication of numbers with all 1 ' s by 11 and the result will be 11 , 121 , 1221 , … . and the number of 2 ' s will increase as per the number of 1 ' s increased in LHS (the number of 2 ' s will be one less than the number of 1 ' s in the number which is multiplied by 11 ). Therefore, The next two steps are: 11111 × 11 = 122221 111111 × 11 = 1222221 .
