How to calculate 69 multiplied by 42

How to calculate 69 multiplied by 42 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 69 times 42 using long multiplication:

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

	6	9
x	4	2

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

	1
	6	9
x	4	2
		8

Step 3: 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		4	2
	1	3	8

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		4	2
	1	3	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 9 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 6 = 24. Take 24 and add 3 from the previous step to get 27. Enter 27 at the bottom:

			6	9
x			4	2
		1	3	8
+	2	7	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (138 + 2760 = 2898) to get the answer:

			6	9
x			4	2
		1	3	8
+	2	7	6	0
=	2	8	9	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 69 times 42 equals:

2898
