How to calculate 36 multiplied by 36

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

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

	3	6
x	3	6

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	3	6
x	3	6
		6

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 3 = 18. Take 18 and add 3 from the previous step to get 21. Enter 21 at the bottom:

		3	6
x		3	6
	2	1	6

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		3	6
	2	1	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 6 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		3	6
x		3	6
	2	1	6
+		8	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 3 = 9. Take 9 and add 1 from the previous step to get 10. Enter 10 at the bottom:

			3	6
x			3	6
		2	1	6
+	1	0	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (216 + 1080 = 1296) to get the answer:

			3	6
x			3	6
		2	1	6
+	1	0	8	0
=	1	2	9	6

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

1296
