How to calculate 72 multiplied by 61

How to calculate 72 multiplied by 61 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 72 times 61 using long multiplication:

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

	7	2
x	6	1

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

	0
	7	2
x	6	1
		2

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	2
x	6	1
	7	2

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	6	1
	7	2
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 2 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	7	2
x	6	1
	7	2
+	2	0

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Take 42 and add 1 from the previous step to get 43. Enter 43 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (72 + 4320 = 4392) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 72 times 61 equals:

4392
