How to calculate 77 multiplied by 27

How to calculate 77 multiplied by 27 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 77 times 27 using long multiplication:

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

	7	7
x	2	7

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Put 9 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	7	7
x	2	7
		9

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Take 49 and add 4 from the previous step to get 53. Enter 53 at the bottom:

		7	7
x		2	7
	5	3	9

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

		7	7
x		2	7
	5	3	9
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Put 4 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		7	7
x		2	7
	5	3	9
+		4	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Take 14 and add 1 from the previous step to get 15. Enter 15 at the bottom:

			7	7
x			2	7
		5	3	9
+	1	5	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (539 + 1540 = 2079) to get the answer:

			7	7
x			2	7
		5	3	9
+	1	5	4	0
=	2	0	7	9

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 77 times 27 equals:

2079
