How to calculate 38 multiplied by 29

How to calculate 38 multiplied by 29 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 38 times 29 using long multiplication:

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

	3	8
x	2	9

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 9 = 72. Put 2 below the line and 7 as a reminder on top:

	7
	3	8
x	2	9
		2

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 3 = 27. Take 27 and add 7 from the previous step to get 34. Enter 34 at the bottom:

		3	8
x		2	9
	3	4	2

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

		3	8
x		2	9
	3	4	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		3	8
x		2	9
	3	4	2
+		6	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	8
x		2	9
	3	4	2
+	7	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (342 + 760 = 1102) to get the answer:

			3	8
x			2	9
		3	4	2
+		7	6	0
=	1	1	0	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 38 times 29 equals:

1102
