How to calculate 36 multiplied by 27

How to calculate 36 multiplied by 27 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 36 times 27 using long multiplication:

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

	3	6
x	2	7

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Put 2 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	3	6
x	2	7
		2

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 3 = 21. Take 21 and add 4 from the previous step to get 25. Enter 25 at the bottom:

		3	6
x		2	7
	2	5	2

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

		3	6
x		2	7
	2	5	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 6 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		3	6
x		2	7
	2	5	2
+		2	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 3 = 6. Take 6 and add 1 from the previous step to get 7. Enter 7 at the bottom:

		3	6
x		2	7
	2	5	2
+	7	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (252 + 720 = 972) to get the answer:

		3	6
x		2	7
	2	5	2
+	7	2	0
=	9	7	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 36 times 27 equals:

972
