How to calculate 69 multiplied by 21

How to calculate 69 multiplied by 21 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 69 times 21 using long multiplication:

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

	6	9
x	2	1

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 1 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	6	9
x	2	1
		9

Step 3: 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	2	1
	6	9

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	2	1
	6	9
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	6	9
x	2	1
	6	9
+	8	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 6 = 12. Take 12 and add 1 from the previous step to get 13. Enter 13 at the bottom:

			6	9
x			2	1
			6	9
+	1	3	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (69 + 1380 = 1449) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 69 times 21 equals:

1449
