How to calculate 79 multiplied by 24

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 24 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 24 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	2	4

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 4 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	7	9
x	2	4
		6

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	9
x		2	4
	3	1	6

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

		7	9
x		2	4
	3	1	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		7	9
x		2	4
	3	1	6
+		8	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Take 14 and add 1 from the previous step to get 15. Enter 15 at the bottom:

			7	9
x			2	4
		3	1	6
+	1	5	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (316 + 1580 = 1896) to get the answer:

			7	9
x			2	4
		3	1	6
+	1	5	8	0
=	1	8	9	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 24 equals:

1896
