How to calculate 42 multiplied by 36

How to calculate 42 multiplied by 36 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 42 times 36 using long multiplication:

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

	4	2
x	3	6

Step 2: Multiply
2 x 6 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	4	2
x	3	6
		2

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 4 = 24. Take 24 and add 1 from the previous step to get 25. Enter 25 at the bottom:

		4	2
x		3	6
	2	5	2

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		3	6
	2	5	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 2 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (252 + 1260 = 1512) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 42 times 36 equals:

1512
