How to calculate 72 multiplied by 28

How to calculate 72 multiplied by 28 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 72 times 28 using long multiplication:

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

	7	2
x	2	8

Step 2: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	7	2
x	2	8
		6

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Take 56 and add 1 from the previous step to get 57. Enter 57 at the bottom:

		7	2
x		2	8
	5	7	6

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

		7	2
x		2	8
	5	7	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 2 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		7	2
x		2	8
	5	7	6
+		4	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Take 14 and add 0 from the previous step to get 14. Enter 14 at the bottom:

			7	2
x			2	8
		5	7	6
+	1	4	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (576 + 1440 = 2016) to get the answer:

			7	2
x			2	8
		5	7	6
+	1	4	4	0
=	2	0	1	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 72 times 28 equals:

2016
