How to calculate 78 multiplied by 62

How to calculate 78 multiplied by 62 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 78 times 62 using long multiplication:

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

	7	8
x	6	2

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 2 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	7	8
x	6	2
		6

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Take 14 and add 1 from the previous step to get 15. Enter 15 at the bottom:

		7	8
x		6	2
	1	5	6

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		6	2
	1	5	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 8 = 48. Put 8 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (156 + 4680 = 4836) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 78 times 62 equals:

4836
