How to calculate 71 multiplied by 29

How to calculate 71 multiplied by 29 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 71 times 29 using long multiplication:

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

	7	1
x	2	9

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 9 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	1
x	2	9
		9

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 7 = 63. Take 63 and add 0 from the previous step to get 63. Enter 63 at the bottom:

		7	1
x		2	9
	6	3	9

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (639 + 1420 = 2059) to get the answer:

			7	1
x			2	9
		6	3	9
+	1	4	2	0
=	2	0	5	9

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 71 times 29 equals:

2059
