How to calculate 74 multiplied by 32

How to calculate 74 multiplied by 32 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 74 times 32 using long multiplication:

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

	7	4
x	3	2

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

	0
	7	4
x	3	2
		8

Step 3: 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		3	2
	1	4	8

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		3	2
	1	4	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 4 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: 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			3	2
		1	4	8
+	2	2	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (148 + 2220 = 2368) to get the answer:

			7	4
x			3	2
		1	4	8
+	2	2	2	0
=	2	3	6	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 74 times 32 equals:

2368
