How to calculate 27 multiplied by 13

How to calculate 27 multiplied by 13 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 27 times 13 using long multiplication:

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

	2	7
x	1	3

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 3 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	2	7
x	1	3
		1

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 2 = 6. Take 6 and add 2 from the previous step to get 8. Enter 8 at the bottom:

	2	7
x	1	3
	8	1

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

	2	7
x	1	3
	8	1
+		0

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

	0
	2	7
x	1	3
	8	1
+	7	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	7
x		1	3
		8	1
+	2	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (81 + 270 = 351) to get the answer:

		2	7
x		1	3
		8	1
+	2	7	0
=	3	5	1

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 27 times 13 equals:

351
