How to calculate 43 multiplied by 32

How to calculate 43 multiplied by 32 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 43 times 32 using long multiplication:

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

	4	3
x	3	2

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

	0
	4	3
x	3	2
		6

Step 3: 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	3	2
	8	6

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	3	2
	8	6
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 3 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	4	3
x	3	2
	8	6
+	9	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	3
x			3	2
			8	6
+	1	2	9	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (86 + 1290 = 1376) to get the answer:

			4	3
x			3	2
			8	6
+	1	2	9	0
=	1	3	7	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 43 times 32 equals:

1376
