How to calculate 70 multiplied by 68

How to calculate 70 multiplied by 68 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 70 times 68 using long multiplication:

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

	7	0
x	6	8

Step 2: Multiply
0 x 8 = 0. Put 0 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	0
x	6	8
		0

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Take 56 and add 0 from the previous step to get 56. Enter 56 at the bottom:

		7	0
x		6	8
	5	6	0

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

		7	0
x		6	8
	5	6	0
+			0

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

		0
		7	0
x		6	8
	5	6	0
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Take 42 and add 0 from the previous step to get 42. Enter 42 at the bottom:

			7	0
x			6	8
		5	6	0
+	4	2	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (560 + 4200 = 4760) to get the answer:

			7	0
x			6	8
		5	6	0
+	4	2	0	0
=	4	7	6	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 70 times 68 equals:

4760
