How to calculate 77 multiplied by 61

How to calculate 77 multiplied by 61 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 77 times 61 using long multiplication:

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

	7	7
x	6	1

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 1 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	7
x	6	1
		7

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	7
x	6	1
	7	7

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	6	1
	7	7
+		0

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

	4
	7	7
x	6	1
	7	7
+	2	0

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Take 42 and add 4 from the previous step to get 46. Enter 46 at the bottom:

			7	7
x			6	1
			7	7
+	4	6	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (77 + 4620 = 4697) to get the answer:

			7	7
x			6	1
			7	7
+	4	6	2	0
=	4	6	9	7

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 77 times 61 equals:

4697
