How to calculate 74 multiplied by 52

How to calculate 74 multiplied by 52 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 74 times 52 using long multiplication:

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

	7	4
x	5	2

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

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

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

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

Step 6: 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			5	2
		1	4	8
+	3	7	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (148 + 3700 = 3848) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 74 times 52 equals:

3848
