How to calculate 33 multiplied by 12

How to calculate 33 multiplied by 12 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 33 times 12 using long multiplication:

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

	3	3
x	1	2

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 2 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	3	3
x	1	2
		6

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

	3	3
x	1	2
	6	6

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

	3	3
x	1	2
	6	6
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 3 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (66 + 330 = 396) to get the answer:

		3	3
x		1	2
		6	6
+	3	3	0
=	3	9	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 33 times 12 equals:

396
