How to calculate 60 multiplied by 12

How to calculate 60 multiplied by 12 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 60 times 12 using long multiplication:

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

	6	0
x	1	2

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

	0
	6	0
x	1	2
		0

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 6 = 12. Take 12 and add 0 from the previous step to get 12. Enter 12 at the bottom:

		6	0
x		1	2
	1	2	0

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

		6	0
x		1	2
	1	2	0
+			0

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

		0
		6	0
x		1	2
	1	2	0
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 6 = 6. Take 6 and add 0 from the previous step to get 6. Enter 6 at the bottom:

		6	0
x		1	2
	1	2	0
+	6	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (120 + 600 = 720) to get the answer:

		6	0
x		1	2
	1	2	0
+	6	0	0
=	7	2	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 60 times 12 equals:

720
