How to calculate 25 multiplied by 15

How to calculate 25 multiplied by 15 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 25 times 15 using long multiplication:

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

	2	5
x	1	5

Step 2: Multiply
5 x 5 = 25. Put 5 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	2	5
x	1	5
		5

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 2 = 10. Take 10 and add 2 from the previous step to get 12. Enter 12 at the bottom:

		2	5
x		1	5
	1	2	5

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

		2	5
x		1	5
	1	2	5
+			0

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

		0
		2	5
x		1	5
	1	2	5
+		5	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	5
x		1	5
	1	2	5
+	2	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (125 + 250 = 375) to get the answer:

		2	5
x		1	5
	1	2	5
+	2	5	0
=	3	7	5

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 25 times 15 equals:

375
