How to calculate 38 multiplied by 37

How to calculate 38 multiplied by 37 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 38 times 37 using long multiplication:

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

	3	8
x	3	7

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Put 6 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	3	8
x	3	7
		6

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 3 = 21. Take 21 and add 5 from the previous step to get 26. Enter 26 at the bottom:

		3	8
x		3	7
	2	6	6

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		3	7
	2	6	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 3 = 9. Take 9 and add 2 from the previous step to get 11. Enter 11 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (266 + 1140 = 1406) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 38 times 37 equals:

1406
