How to calculate 78 multiplied by 41

How to calculate 78 multiplied by 41 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 78 times 41 using long multiplication:

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

	7	8
x	4	1

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 1 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	8
x	4	1
		8

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	8
x	4	1
	7	8

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	4	1
	7	8
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Put 2 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	7	8
x	4	1
	7	8
+	2	0

Step 6: 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			4	1
			7	8
+	3	1	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (78 + 3120 = 3198) to get the answer:

			7	8
x			4	1
			7	8
+	3	1	2	0
=	3	1	9	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 78 times 41 equals:

3198
