How to calculate 71 multiplied by 56

How to calculate 71 multiplied by 56 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 71 times 56 using long multiplication:

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

	7	1
x	5	6

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 6 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	1
x	5	6
		6

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Take 42 and add 0 from the previous step to get 42. Enter 42 at the bottom:

		7	1
x		5	6
	4	2	6

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	6
	4	2	6
+			0

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (426 + 3550 = 3976) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 71 times 56 equals:

3976
