How to calculate 32 multiplied by 27

How to calculate 32 multiplied by 27 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 32 times 27 using long multiplication:

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

	3	2
x	2	7

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

	1
	3	2
x	2	7
		4

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 3 = 21. Take 21 and add 1 from the previous step to get 22. Enter 22 at the bottom:

		3	2
x		2	7
	2	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	2
x		2	7
	2	2	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 2 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (224 + 640 = 864) to get the answer:

		3	2
x		2	7
	2	2	4
+	6	4	0
=	8	6	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 32 times 27 equals:

864
