How to calculate 34 multiplied by 17

How to calculate 34 multiplied by 17 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 34 times 17 using long multiplication:

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

	3	4
x	1	7

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	3	4
x	1	7
		8

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 3 = 21. Take 21 and add 2 from the previous step to get 23. Enter 23 at the bottom:

		3	4
x		1	7
	2	3	8

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	7
	2	3	8
+			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	7
	2	3	8
+		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	7
	2	3	8
+	3	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (238 + 340 = 578) to get the answer:

		3	4
x		1	7
	2	3	8
+	3	4	0
=	5	7	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 34 times 17 equals:

578
