How to calculate 27 multiplied by 20

How to calculate 27 multiplied by 20 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 27 times 20 using long multiplication:

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

	2	7
x	2	0

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

	0
	2	7
x	2	0
		0

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

	2	7
x	2	0
	0	0

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	2	0
	0	0
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Put 4 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	2	7
x	2	0
	0	0
+	4	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 2 = 4. Take 4 and add 1 from the previous step to get 5. Enter 5 at the bottom:

		2	7
x		2	0
		0	0
+	5	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (0 + 540 = 540) to get the answer:

		2	7
x		2	0
		0	0
+	5	4	0
=	5	4	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 27 times 20 equals:

540
