How to calculate 61 multiplied by 38

How to calculate 61 multiplied by 38 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 61 times 38 using long multiplication:

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

	6	1
x	3	8

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 8 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	6	1
x	3	8
		8

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 6 = 48. Take 48 and add 0 from the previous step to get 48. Enter 48 at the bottom:

		6	1
x		3	8
	4	8	8

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		3	8
	4	8	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 1 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		6	1
x		3	8
	4	8	8
+		3	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 6 = 18. Take 18 and add 0 from the previous step to get 18. Enter 18 at the bottom:

			6	1
x			3	8
		4	8	8
+	1	8	3	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (488 + 1830 = 2318) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 61 times 38 equals:

2318
