How to calculate 39 multiplied by 32

How to calculate 39 multiplied by 32 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 39 times 32 using long multiplication:

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

	3	9
x	3	2

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

	1
	3	9
x	3	2
		8

Step 3: 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	3	2
	7	8

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	3	2
	7	8
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 9 = 27. Put 7 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (78 + 1170 = 1248) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 39 times 32 equals:

1248
