How to calculate 68 multiplied by 49

How to calculate 68 multiplied by 49 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 68 times 49 using long multiplication:

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

	6	8
x	4	9

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

	7
	6	8
x	4	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		4	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		4	9
	6	1	2
+			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	9
	6	1	2
+		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	9
		6	1	2
+	2	7	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (612 + 2720 = 3332) to get the answer:

			6	8
x			4	9
		6	1	2
+	2	7	2	0
=	3	3	3	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 68 times 49 equals:

3332
