How to calculate 74 multiplied by 68

How to calculate 74 multiplied by 68 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 74 times 68 using long multiplication:

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

	7	4
x	6	8

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Put 2 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	7	4
x	6	8
		2

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Take 56 and add 3 from the previous step to get 59. Enter 59 at the bottom:

		7	4
x		6	8
	5	9	2

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		6	8
	5	9	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 4 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

		2
		7	4
x		6	8
	5	9	2
+		4	0

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Take 42 and add 2 from the previous step to get 44. Enter 44 at the bottom:

			7	4
x			6	8
		5	9	2
+	4	4	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (592 + 4440 = 5032) to get the answer:

			7	4
x			6	8
		5	9	2
+	4	4	4	0
=	5	0	3	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 74 times 68 equals:

5032
