How to calculate 71 multiplied by 51

How to calculate 71 multiplied by 51 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 71 times 51 using long multiplication:

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

	7	1
x	5	1

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

	0
	7	1
x	5	1
		1

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

	7	1
x	5	1
	7	1

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	5	1
	7	1
+		0

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

	0

Step 6: 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			5	1
			7	1
+	3	5	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (71 + 3550 = 3621) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 71 times 51 equals:

3621
