How to calculate 71 multiplied by 45

How to calculate 71 multiplied by 45 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 71 times 45 using long multiplication:

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

	7	1
x	4	5

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

	0
	7	1
x	4	5
		5

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 7 = 35. Take 35 and add 0 from the previous step to get 35. Enter 35 at the bottom:

		7	1
x		4	5
	3	5	5

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		4	5
	3	5	5
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 1 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		7	1
x		4	5
	3	5	5
+		4	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Take 28 and add 0 from the previous step to get 28. Enter 28 at the bottom:

			7	1
x			4	5
		3	5	5
+	2	8	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (355 + 2840 = 3195) to get the answer:

			7	1
x			4	5
		3	5	5
+	2	8	4	0
=	3	1	9	5

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 71 times 45 equals:

3195
