How to calculate 73 multiplied by 29

How to calculate 73 multiplied by 29 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 73 times 29 using long multiplication:

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

	7	3
x	2	9

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 9 = 27. Put 7 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	7	3
x	2	9
		7

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 7 = 63. Take 63 and add 2 from the previous step to get 65. Enter 65 at the bottom:

		7	3
x		2	9
	6	5	7

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		2	9
	6	5	7
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 3 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		7	3
x		2	9
	6	5	7
+		6	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	3
x			2	9
		6	5	7
+	1	4	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (657 + 1460 = 2117) to get the answer:

			7	3
x			2	9
		6	5	7
+	1	4	6	0
=	2	1	1	7

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 73 times 29 equals:

2117
