How to calculate 71 multiplied by 32 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 71 times 32 using long multiplication:
Step 1: Setup
Set up your multiplication problem like this:
| 7 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 3 | 2 | ||||||
Step 2: Multiply
1 x 2 = 2. Put 2 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:
| 0 | ||||||||
| 7 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 3 | 2 | ||||||
| 2 |
Step 3: 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 | 3 | 2 | ||||||
| 1 | 4 | 2 |
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 | 3 | 2 | ||||||
| 1 | 4 | 2 | ||||||
| + | 0 |
Step 5: Multiply
3 x 1 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:
| 0 | ||||||||
| 7 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 3 | 2 | ||||||
| 1 | 4 | 2 | ||||||
| + | 3 | 0 |
Step 6: 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 | 3 | 2 | ||||||
| 1 | 4 | 2 | ||||||
| + | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0 |
Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (142 + 2130 = 2272) to get the answer:
| 7 | 1 | |||||||
| x | 3 | 2 | ||||||
| 1 | 4 | 2 | ||||||
| + | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0 | ||||
| = | 2 | 2 | 7 | 2 |
The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 71 times 32 equals:
2272
