How to calculate 12 multiplied by 11

How to calculate 12 multiplied by 11 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 12 times 11 using long multiplication:

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

	1	2
x	1	1

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

	0
	1	2
x	1	1
		2

Step 3: 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	1
	1	2

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	1
	1	2
+		0

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (12 + 120 = 132) to get the answer:

		1	2
x		1	1
		1	2
+	1	2	0
=	1	3	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 12 times 11 equals:

132
