How to calculate 46 multiplied by 32

How to calculate 46 multiplied by 32 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 46 times 32 using long multiplication:

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

	4	6
x	3	2

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

	1
	4	6
x	3	2
		2

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 4 = 8. Take 8 and add 1 from the previous step to get 9. Enter 9 at the bottom:

	4	6
x	3	2
	9	2

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

	4	6
x	3	2
	9	2
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 6 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	4	6
x	3	2
	9	2
+	8	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 4 = 12. Take 12 and add 1 from the previous step to get 13. Enter 13 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (92 + 1380 = 1472) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 46 times 32 equals:

1472
