How to calculate 74 multiplied by 25

How to calculate 74 multiplied by 25 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 74 times 25 using long multiplication:

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

	7	4
x	2	5

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Put 0 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	7	4
x	2	5
		0

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 7 = 35. Take 35 and add 2 from the previous step to get 37. Enter 37 at the bottom:

		7	4
x		2	5
	3	7	0

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		2	5
	3	7	0
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 4 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		7	4
x		2	5
	3	7	0
+		8	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	4
x			2	5
		3	7	0
+	1	4	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (370 + 1480 = 1850) to get the answer:

			7	4
x			2	5
		3	7	0
+	1	4	8	0
=	1	8	5	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 74 times 25 equals:

1850
