How to calculate 39 multiplied by 27

How to calculate 39 multiplied by 27 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 39 times 27 using long multiplication:

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

	3	9
x	2	7

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 7 = 63. Put 3 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

	6
	3	9
x	2	7
		3

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 3 = 21. Take 21 and add 6 from the previous step to get 27. Enter 27 at the bottom:

		3	9
x		2	7
	2	7	3

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	7
	2	7	3
+			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	7
	2	7	3
+		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	7
	2	7	3
+	7	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (273 + 780 = 1053) to get the answer:

			3	9
x			2	7
		2	7	3
+		7	8	0
=	1	0	5	3

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 39 times 27 equals:

1053
