How to calculate 78 multiplied by 13

How to calculate 78 multiplied by 13 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 78 times 13 using long multiplication:

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

	7	8
x	1	3

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 3 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	7	8
x	1	3
		4

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Take 21 and add 2 from the previous step to get 23. Enter 23 at the bottom:

		7	8
x		1	3
	2	3	4

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

		7	8
x		1	3
	2	3	4
+			0

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

		0
		7	8
x		1	3
	2	3	4
+		8	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Take 7 and add 0 from the previous step to get 7. Enter 7 at the bottom:

		7	8
x		1	3
	2	3	4
+	7	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (234 + 780 = 1014) to get the answer:

			7	8
x			1	3
		2	3	4
+		7	8	0
=	1	0	1	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 78 times 13 equals:

1014
