How to calculate 68 multiplied by 57

How to calculate 68 multiplied by 57 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 68 times 57 using long multiplication:

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

	6	8
x	5	7

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Put 6 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	6	8
x	5	7
		6

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 6 = 42. Take 42 and add 5 from the previous step to get 47. Enter 47 at the bottom:

		6	8
x		5	7
	4	7	6

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	7
	4	7	6
+			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	7
	4	7	6
+		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	7
		4	7	6
+	3	4	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (476 + 3400 = 3876) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 68 times 57 equals:

3876
