How to calculate 40 multiplied by 24

How to calculate 40 multiplied by 24 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 40 times 24 using long multiplication:

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

	4	0
x	2	4

Step 2: Multiply
0 x 4 = 0. Put 0 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	4	0
x	2	4
		0

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 4 = 16. Take 16 and add 0 from the previous step to get 16. Enter 16 at the bottom:

		4	0
x		2	4
	1	6	0

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

		4	0
x		2	4
	1	6	0
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 0 = 0. Put 0 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		4	0
x		2	4
	1	6	0
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 4 = 8. Take 8 and add 0 from the previous step to get 8. Enter 8 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (160 + 800 = 960) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 40 times 24 equals:

960
