How to calculate 21 multiplied by 14

How to calculate 21 multiplied by 14 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 21 times 14 using long multiplication:

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

	2	1
x	1	4

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 4 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	2	1
x	1	4
		4

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 2 = 8. Take 8 and add 0 from the previous step to get 8. Enter 8 at the bottom:

	2	1
x	1	4
	8	4

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

	2	1
x	1	4
	8	4
+		0

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

	0
	2	1
x	1	4
	8	4
+	1	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 2 = 2. Take 2 and add 0 from the previous step to get 2. Enter 2 at the bottom:

		2	1
x		1	4
		8	4
+	2	1	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (84 + 210 = 294) to get the answer:

		2	1
x		1	4
		8	4
+	2	1	0
=	2	9	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 21 times 14 equals:

294
