How to calculate 76 multiplied by 73

How to calculate 76 multiplied by 73 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 76 times 73 using long multiplication:

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

	7	6
x	7	3

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 3 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	7	6
x	7	3
		8

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Take 21 and add 1 from the previous step to get 22. Enter 22 at the bottom:

		7	6
x		7	3
	2	2	8

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

		7	6
x		7	3
	2	2	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
7 x 6 = 42. Put 2 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

		4
		7	6
x		7	3
	2	2	8
+		2	0

Step 6: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Take 49 and add 4 from the previous step to get 53. Enter 53 at the bottom:

			7	6
x			7	3
		2	2	8
+	5	3	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (228 + 5320 = 5548) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 76 times 73 equals:

5548
