How to calculate 71 multiplied by 17

How to calculate 71 multiplied by 17 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 71 times 17 using long multiplication:

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

	7	1
x	1	7

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	1
x	1	7
		7

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Take 49 and add 0 from the previous step to get 49. Enter 49 at the bottom:

		7	1
x		1	7
	4	9	7

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

		7	1
x		1	7
	4	9	7
+			0

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

		0
		7	1
x		1	7
	4	9	7
+		1	0

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

		7	1
x		1	7
	4	9	7
+	7	1	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (497 + 710 = 1207) to get the answer:

			7	1
x			1	7
		4	9	7
+		7	1	0
=	1	2	0	7

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 71 times 17 equals:

1207
