How to calculate 31 multiplied by 15 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 31 times 15 using long multiplication:
Step 1: Setup
Set up your multiplication problem like this:
| 3 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 1 | 5 | ||||||
Step 2: Multiply
1 x 5 = 5. Put 5 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:
| 0 | ||||||||
| 3 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 1 | 5 | ||||||
| 5 |
Step 3: Multiply
5 x 3 = 15. Take 15 and add 0 from the previous step to get 15. Enter 15 at the bottom:
| 3 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 1 | 5 | ||||||
| 1 | 5 | 5 |
Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:
| 3 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 1 | 5 | ||||||
| 1 | 5 | 5 | ||||||
| + | 0 |
Step 5: Multiply
1 x 1 = 1. Put 1 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:
| 0 | ||||||||
| 3 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 1 | 5 | ||||||
| 1 | 5 | 5 | ||||||
| + | 1 | 0 |
Step 6: Multiply
1 x 3 = 3. Take 3 and add 0 from the previous step to get 3. Enter 3 at the bottom:
| 3 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 1 | 5 | ||||||
| 1 | 5 | 5 | ||||||
| + | 3 | 1 | 0 |
Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (155 + 310 = 465) to get the answer:
| 3 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 1 | 5 | ||||||
| 1 | 5 | 5 | ||||||
| + | 3 | 1 | 0 | |||||
| = | 4 | 6 | 5 |
The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 31 times 15 equals:
465
