How to calculate 75 multiplied by 68

How to calculate 75 multiplied by 68 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 75 times 68 using long multiplication:

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

	7	5
x	6	8

Step 2: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Put 0 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	7	5
x	6	8
		0

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Take 56 and add 4 from the previous step to get 60. Enter 60 at the bottom:

		7	5
x		6	8
	6	0	0

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

		7	5
x		6	8
	6	0	0
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 5 = 30. Put 0 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

		3
		7	5
x		6	8
	6	0	0
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Take 42 and add 3 from the previous step to get 45. Enter 45 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (600 + 4500 = 5100) to get the answer:

			7	5
x			6	8
		6	0	0
+	4	5	0	0
=	5	1	0	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 75 times 68 equals:

5100
