How to calculate 78 multiplied by 34

How to calculate 78 multiplied by 34 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 78 times 34 using long multiplication:

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

	7	8
x	3	4

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 4 = 32. Put 2 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	7	8
x	3	4
		2

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Take 28 and add 3 from the previous step to get 31. Enter 31 at the bottom:

		7	8
x		3	4
	3	1	2

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		3	4
	3	1	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: 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			3	4
		3	1	2
+	2	3	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (312 + 2340 = 2652) to get the answer:

			7	8
x			3	4
		3	1	2
+	2	3	4	0
=	2	6	5	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 78 times 34 equals:

2652
