How to calculate 74 multiplied by 57

How to calculate 74 multiplied by 57 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 74 times 57 using long multiplication:

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

	7	4
x	5	7

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	7	4
x	5	7
		8

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Take 49 and add 2 from the previous step to get 51. Enter 51 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (518 + 3700 = 4218) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 74 times 57 equals:

4218
