How to calculate 74 multiplied by 71

How to calculate 74 multiplied by 71 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 74 times 71 using long multiplication:

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

	7	4
x	7	1

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 1 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	4
x	7	1
		4

Step 3: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Take 7 and add 0 from the previous step to get 7. Enter 7 at the bottom:

	7	4
x	7	1
	7	4

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	7	1
	7	4
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
7 x 4 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	7	4
x	7	1
	7	4
+	8	0

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (74 + 5180 = 5254) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 74 times 71 equals:

5254
