How to calculate 71 multiplied by 66

How to calculate 71 multiplied by 66 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 71 times 66 using long multiplication:

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

	7	1
x	6	6

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

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

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 1 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: 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			6	6
		4	2	6
+	4	2	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (426 + 4260 = 4686) to get the answer:

			7	1
x			6	6
		4	2	6
+	4	2	6	0
=	4	6	8	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 71 times 66 equals:

4686
