How to calculate 40 multiplied by 36

How to calculate 40 multiplied by 36 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 40 times 36 using long multiplication:

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

	4	0
x	3	6

Step 2: Multiply
0 x 6 = 0. Put 0 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	4	0
x	3	6
		0

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 4 = 24. Take 24 and add 0 from the previous step to get 24. Enter 24 at the bottom:

		4	0
x		3	6
	2	4	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		3	6
	2	4	0
+			0

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

		0
		4	0
x		3	6
	2	4	0
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 4 = 12. Take 12 and add 0 from the previous step to get 12. Enter 12 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (240 + 1200 = 1440) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 40 times 36 equals:

1440
