How to calculate 42 multiplied by 14 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 42 times 14 using long multiplication:

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

              4 2
      x       1 4
                 

Step 2: Multiply
2 x 4 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

              0  
              4 2
      x       1 4
                8

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 2
      x       1 4
            1 6 8

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

              4 2
      x       1 4
            1 6 8
      +         0

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

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

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (168 + 420 = 588) to get the answer:

              4 2
      x       1 4
            1 6 8
      +     4 2 0
      =     5 8 8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 42 times 14 equals:

588
