How to calculate 74 multiplied by 34

How to calculate 74 multiplied by 34 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 74 times 34 using long multiplication:

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

	7	4
x	3	4

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 4 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	7	4
x	3	4
		6

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Take 28 and add 1 from the previous step to get 29. Enter 29 at the bottom:

		7	4
x		3	4
	2	9	6

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	4
	2	9	6
+			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	4
	2	9	6
+		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	4
		2	9	6
+	2	2	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (296 + 2220 = 2516) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 74 times 34 equals:

2516
