How to calculate 72 multiplied by 29 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 72 times 29 using long multiplication:

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

              7 2
      x       2 9
                 

Step 2: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

              1  
              7 2
      x       2 9
                8

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 7 = 63. Take 63 and add 1 from the previous step to get 64. Enter 64 at the bottom:

              7 2
      x       2 9
            6 4 8

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 9
            6 4 8
      +         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 9
            6 4 8
      +       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 9
            6 4 8
      +   1 4 4 0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (648 + 1440 = 2088) to get the answer:

              7 2
      x       2 9
            6 4 8
      +   1 4 4 0
      =   2 0 8 8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 72 times 29 equals:

2088
