How to calculate 61 multiplied by 27

How to calculate 61 multiplied by 27 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 61 times 27 using long multiplication:

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

	6	1
x	2	7

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	6	1
x	2	7
		7

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 6 = 42. Take 42 and add 0 from the previous step to get 42. Enter 42 at the bottom:

		6	1
x		2	7
	4	2	7

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		2	7
	4	2	7
+			0

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

		0
		6	1
x		2	7
	4	2	7
+		2	0

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

			6	1
x			2	7
		4	2	7
+	1	2	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (427 + 1220 = 1647) to get the answer:

			6	1
x			2	7
		4	2	7
+	1	2	2	0
=	1	6	4	7

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 61 times 27 equals:

1647
