How to calculate 41 multiplied by 39

How to calculate 41 multiplied by 39 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 41 times 39 using long multiplication:

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

	4	1
x	3	9

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 9 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	4	1
x	3	9
		9

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 4 = 36. Take 36 and add 0 from the previous step to get 36. Enter 36 at the bottom:

		4	1
x		3	9
	3	6	9

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

		4	1
x		3	9
	3	6	9
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 1 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		4	1
x		3	9
	3	6	9
+		3	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	1
x			3	9
		3	6	9
+	1	2	3	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (369 + 1230 = 1599) to get the answer:

			4	1
x			3	9
		3	6	9
+	1	2	3	0
=	1	5	9	9

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 41 times 39 equals:

1599
