How to calculate 68 multiplied by 29

How to calculate 68 multiplied by 29 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 68 times 29 using long multiplication:

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

	6	8
x	2	9

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 9 = 72. Put 2 below the line and 7 as a reminder on top:

	7
	6	8
x	2	9
		2

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 6 = 54. Take 54 and add 7 from the previous step to get 61. Enter 61 at the bottom:

		6	8
x		2	9
	6	1	2

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

		6	8
x		2	9
	6	1	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		6	8
x		2	9
	6	1	2
+		6	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 6 = 12. Take 12 and add 1 from the previous step to get 13. Enter 13 at the bottom:

			6	8
x			2	9
		6	1	2
+	1	3	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (612 + 1360 = 1972) to get the answer:

			6	8
x			2	9
		6	1	2
+	1	3	6	0
=	1	9	7	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 68 times 29 equals:

1972
