How to calculate 71 multiplied by 20

How to calculate 71 multiplied by 20 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 71 times 20 using long multiplication:

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

	7	1
x	2	0

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

	0
	7	1
x	2	0
		0

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

	7	1
x	2	0
	0	0

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	2	0
	0	0
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 1 = 2. Put 2 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	1
x	2	0
	0	0
+	2	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Take 14 and add 0 from the previous step to get 14. Enter 14 at the bottom:

			7	1
x			2	0
			0	0
+	1	4	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (0 + 1420 = 1420) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 71 times 20 equals:

1420
