How to calculate 12 multiplied by 10

How to calculate 12 multiplied by 10 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 12 times 10 using long multiplication:

Step 1: Setup
Set up your multiplication problem like this:

	1	2
x	1	0

Step 2: Multiply
2 x 0 = 0. Put 0 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	1	2
x	1	0
		0

Step 3: Multiply
0 x 1 = 0. Take 0 and add 0 from the previous step to get 0. Enter 0 at the bottom:

	1	2
x	1	0
	0	0

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

	1	2
x	1	0
	0	0
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 2 = 2. Put 2 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	1	2
x	1	0
	0	0
+	2	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 1 = 1. Take 1 and add 0 from the previous step to get 1. Enter 1 at the bottom:

		1	2
x		1	0
		0	0
+	1	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (0 + 120 = 120) to get the answer:

		1	2
x		1	0
		0	0
+	1	2	0
=	1	2	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 12 times 10 equals:

120
