How to calculate 37 multiplied by 15

How to calculate 37 multiplied by 15 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 37 times 15 using long multiplication:

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

	3	7
x	1	5

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 5 = 35. Put 5 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	3	7
x	1	5
		5

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 3 = 15. Take 15 and add 3 from the previous step to get 18. Enter 18 at the bottom:

		3	7
x		1	5
	1	8	5

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

		3	7
x		1	5
	1	8	5
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		3	7
x		1	5
	1	8	5
+		7	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	7
x		1	5
	1	8	5
+	3	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (185 + 370 = 555) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 37 times 15 equals:

555
