How to calculate 61 multiplied by 15

How to calculate 61 multiplied by 15 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 61 times 15 using long multiplication:

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

	6	1
x	1	5

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 5 = 5. Put 5 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	6	1
x	1	5
		5

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 6 = 30. Take 30 and add 0 from the previous step to get 30. Enter 30 at the bottom:

		6	1
x		1	5
	3	0	5

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

		6	1
x		1	5
	3	0	5
+			0

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

		0
		6	1
x		1	5
	3	0	5
+		1	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	1
x		1	5
	3	0	5
+	6	1	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (305 + 610 = 915) to get the answer:

		6	1
x		1	5
	3	0	5
+	6	1	0
=	9	1	5

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 61 times 15 equals:

915
