How to calculate 78 multiplied by 69

How to calculate 78 multiplied by 69 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 78 times 69 using long multiplication:

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

	7	8
x	6	9

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 9 = 72. Put 2 below the line and 7 as a reminder on top:

	7
	7	8
x	6	9
		2

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 7 = 63. Take 63 and add 7 from the previous step to get 70. Enter 70 at the bottom:

		7	8
x		6	9
	7	0	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		6	9
	7	0	2
+			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	9
	7	0	2
+		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	9
		7	0	2
+	4	6	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (702 + 4680 = 5382) to get the answer:

			7	8
x			6	9
		7	0	2
+	4	6	8	0
=	5	3	8	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 78 times 69 equals:

5382
