How to calculate 69 multiplied by 18

How to calculate 69 multiplied by 18 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 69 times 18 using long multiplication:

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

	6	9
x	1	8

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

	7
	6	9
x	1	8
		2

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 6 = 48. Take 48 and add 7 from the previous step to get 55. Enter 55 at the bottom:

		6	9
x		1	8
	5	5	2

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

		6	9
x		1	8
	5	5	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 9 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		6	9
x		1	8
	5	5	2
+		9	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 6 = 6. Take 6 and add 0 from the previous step to get 6. Enter 6 at the bottom:

		6	9
x		1	8
	5	5	2
+	6	9	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (552 + 690 = 1242) to get the answer:

			6	9
x			1	8
		5	5	2
+		6	9	0
=	1	2	4	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 69 times 18 equals:

1242
