How to calculate 46 multiplied by 36

How to calculate 46 multiplied by 36 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 46 times 36 using long multiplication:

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

	4	6
x	3	6

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	4	6
x	3	6
		6

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 4 = 24. Take 24 and add 3 from the previous step to get 27. Enter 27 at the bottom:

		4	6
x		3	6
	2	7	6

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (276 + 1380 = 1656) to get the answer:

			4	6
x			3	6
		2	7	6
+	1	3	8	0
=	1	6	5	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 46 times 36 equals:

1656
