How to calculate 60 multiplied by 40

How to calculate 60 multiplied by 40 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 60 times 40 using long multiplication:

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

	6	0
x	4	0

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

	0
	6	0
x	4	0
		0

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

							6	0
			x				4	0
							0	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				4	0
							0	0
			+					0

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

	0
	6	0
x	4	0
	0	0
+	0	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 6 = 24. Take 24 and add 0 from the previous step to get 24. Enter 24 at the bottom:

			6
x			4
			0
+	2	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (0 + 2400 = 2400) to get the answer:

			6
x			4
			0
+	2	4	0
=	2	4	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 60 times 40 equals:

2400
