How to calculate 73 multiplied by 15

How to calculate 73 multiplied by 15 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 73 times 15 using long multiplication:

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

	7	3
x	1	5

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 5 = 15. Put 5 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	7	3
x	1	5
		5

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 7 = 35. Take 35 and add 1 from the previous step to get 36. Enter 36 at the bottom:

		7	3
x		1	5
	3	6	5

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

		7	3
x		1	5
	3	6	5
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 3 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

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

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (365 + 730 = 1095) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 73 times 15 equals:

1095
