How to calculate 31 multiplied by 24

How to calculate 31 multiplied by 24 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 31 times 24 using long multiplication:

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

	3	1
x	2	4

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 4 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	3	1
x	2	4
		4

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 3 = 12. Take 12 and add 0 from the previous step to get 12. Enter 12 at the bottom:

		3	1
x		2	4
	1	2	4

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		2	4
	1	2	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 1 = 2. Put 2 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		3	1
x		2	4
	1	2	4
+		2	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 3 = 6. Take 6 and add 0 from the previous step to get 6. Enter 6 at the bottom:

		3	1
x		2	4
	1	2	4
+	6	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (124 + 620 = 744) to get the answer:

		3	1
x		2	4
	1	2	4
+	6	2	0
=	7	4	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 31 times 24 equals:

744
