How to calculate 68 multiplied by 48

How to calculate 68 multiplied by 48 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 68 times 48 using long multiplication:

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

	6	8
x	4	8

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 8 = 64. Put 4 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

	6
	6	8
x	4	8
		4

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 6 = 48. Take 48 and add 6 from the previous step to get 54. Enter 54 at the bottom:

		6	8
x		4	8
	5	4	4

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		4	8
	5	4	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Put 2 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

		3
		6	8
x		4	8
	5	4	4
+		2	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 6 = 24. Take 24 and add 3 from the previous step to get 27. Enter 27 at the bottom:

			6	8
x			4	8
		5	4	4
+	2	7	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (544 + 2720 = 3264) to get the answer:

			6	8
x			4	8
		5	4	4
+	2	7	2	0
=	3	2	6	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 68 times 48 equals:

3264
