How to calculate 43 multiplied by 43

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

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

	4	3
x	4	3

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 3 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	4	3
x	4	3
		9

Step 3: 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		4	3
	1	2	9

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		4	3
	1	2	9
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 3 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 4 = 16. Take 16 and add 1 from the previous step to get 17. Enter 17 at the bottom:

			4	3
x			4	3
		1	2	9
+	1	7	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (129 + 1720 = 1849) to get the answer:

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

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

1849
