How to calculate 68 multiplied by 36

How to calculate 68 multiplied by 36 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 68 times 36 using long multiplication:

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

	6	8
x	3	6

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 6 = 48. Put 8 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	6	8
x	3	6
		8

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Take 36 and add 4 from the previous step to get 40. Enter 40 at the bottom:

		6	8
x		3	6
	4	0	8

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		3	6
	4	0	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 6 = 18. Take 18 and add 2 from the previous step to get 20. Enter 20 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (408 + 2040 = 2448) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 68 times 36 equals:

2448
