How to calculate 63 multiplied by 31

How to calculate 63 multiplied by 31 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 63 times 31 using long multiplication:

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

	6	3
x	3	1

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 1 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	6	3
x	3	1
		3

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

	6	3
x	3	1
	6	3

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

	6	3
x	3	1
	6	3
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 3 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	6	3
x	3	1
	6	3
+	9	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	3
x			3	1
			6	3
+	1	8	9	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (63 + 1890 = 1953) to get the answer:

			6	3
x			3	1
			6	3
+	1	8	9	0
=	1	9	5	3

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 63 times 31 equals:

1953
