How to calculate 69 multiplied by 38

How to calculate 69 multiplied by 38 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 69 times 38 using long multiplication:

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

	6	9
x	3	8

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

	7
	6	9
x	3	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		3	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		3	8
	5	5	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 9 = 27. Put 7 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

		2
		6	9
x		3	8
	5	5	2
+		7	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 6 = 18. Take 18 and add 2 from the previous step to get 20. Enter 20 at the bottom:

			6	9
x			3	8
		5	5	2
+	2	0	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (552 + 2070 = 2622) to get the answer:

			6	9
x			3	8
		5	5	2
+	2	0	7	0
=	2	6	2	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 69 times 38 equals:

2622
