How to calculate 66 multiplied by 61

How to calculate 66 multiplied by 61 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 66 times 61 using long multiplication:

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

	6	6
x	6	1

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 1 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	6	6
x	6	1
		6

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	6
x	6	1
	6	6

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

	6	6
x	6	1
	6	6
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Take 36 and add 3 from the previous step to get 39. Enter 39 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (66 + 3960 = 4026) to get the answer:

			6	6
x			6	1
			6	6
+	3	9	6	0
=	4	0	2	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 66 times 61 equals:
