How to calculate 27 multiplied by 24

How to calculate 27 multiplied by 24 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 27 times 24 using long multiplication:

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

	2	7
x	2	4

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 4 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	2	7
x	2	4
		8

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 2 = 8. Take 8 and add 2 from the previous step to get 10. Enter 10 at the bottom:

		2	7
x		2	4
	1	0	8

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	4
	1	0	8
+			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	4
	1	0	8
+		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	4
	1	0	8
+	5	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (108 + 540 = 648) to get the answer:

		2	7
x		2	4
	1	0	8
+	5	4	0
=	6	4	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 27 times 24 equals:

648
