How to calculate 68 multiplied by 54

How to calculate 68 multiplied by 54 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 68 times 54 using long multiplication:

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

	6	8
x	5	4

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

	3
	6	8
x	5	4
		2

Step 3: 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		5	4
	2	7	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		5	4
	2	7	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Put 0 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 6 = 30. Take 30 and add 4 from the previous step to get 34. Enter 34 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (272 + 3400 = 3672) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 68 times 54 equals:

3672
