How to calculate 74 multiplied by 13

How to calculate 74 multiplied by 13 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 74 times 13 using long multiplication:

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

	7	4
x	1	3

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 3 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	7	4
x	1	3
		2

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Take 21 and add 1 from the previous step to get 22. Enter 22 at the bottom:

		7	4
x		1	3
	2	2	2

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

		7	4
x		1	3
	2	2	2
+			0

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (222 + 740 = 962) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 74 times 13 equals:

962
