How to calculate 39 multiplied by 23

How to calculate 39 multiplied by 23 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 39 times 23 using long multiplication:

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

	3	9
x	2	3

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 3 = 27. Put 7 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	3	9
x	2	3
		7

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

		3	9
x		2	3
	1	1	7

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

		3	9
x		2	3
	1	1	7
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (117 + 780 = 897) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 39 times 23 equals:

897
