How to calculate 34 multiplied by 15

How to calculate 34 multiplied by 15 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 34 times 15 using long multiplication:

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

	3	4
x	1	5

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Put 0 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	3	4
x	1	5
		0

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 3 = 15. Take 15 and add 2 from the previous step to get 17. Enter 17 at the bottom:

		3	4
x		1	5
	1	7	0

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

		3	4
x		1	5
	1	7	0
+			0

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

		0
		3	4
x		1	5
	1	7	0
+		4	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	4
x		1	5
	1	7	0
+	3	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (170 + 340 = 510) to get the answer:

		3	4
x		1	5
	1	7	0
+	3	4	0
=	5	1	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 34 times 15 equals:

510
