How to calculate 71 multiplied by 23

How to calculate 71 multiplied by 23 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 71 times 23 using long multiplication:

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

	7	1
x	2	3

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 3 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	1
x	2	3
		3

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Take 21 and add 0 from the previous step to get 21. Enter 21 at the bottom:

		7	1
x		2	3
	2	1	3

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	3
	2	1	3
+			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	3
	2	1	3
+		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	3
		2	1	3
+	1	4	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (213 + 1420 = 1633) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 71 times 23 equals:

1633
