How to calculate 17 multiplied by 12

How to calculate 17 multiplied by 12 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 17 times 12 using long multiplication:

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

	1	7
x	1	2

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 2 = 14. Put 4 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	1	7
x	1	2
		4

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 1 = 2. Take 2 and add 1 from the previous step to get 3. Enter 3 at the bottom:

	1	7
x	1	2
	3	4

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

	1	7
x	1	2
	3	4
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	1	7
x	1	2
	3	4
+	7	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	7
x		1	2
		3	4
+	1	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (34 + 170 = 204) to get the answer:

		1	7
x		1	2
		3	4
+	1	7	0
=	2	0	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 17 times 12 equals:

204
