How to calculate 43 multiplied by 27

How to calculate 43 multiplied by 27 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 43 times 27 using long multiplication:

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

	4	3
x	2	7

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	4	3
x	2	7
		1

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 4 = 28. Take 28 and add 2 from the previous step to get 30. Enter 30 at the bottom:

		4	3
x		2	7
	3	0	1

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

		4	3
x		2	7
	3	0	1
+			0

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

		0
		4	3
x		2	7
	3	0	1
+		6	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	3
x		2	7
	3	0	1
+	8	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (301 + 860 = 1161) to get the answer:

			4	3
x			2	7
		3	0	1
+		8	6	0
=	1	1	6	1

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 43 times 27 equals:

1161
