How to calculate 79 multiplied by 27

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 27 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 27 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	2	7

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 7 = 63. Put 3 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

	6
	7	9
x	2	7
		3

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Take 49 and add 6 from the previous step to get 55. Enter 55 at the bottom:

		7	9
x		2	7
	5	5	3

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	7
	5	5	3
+			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	7
	5	5	3
+		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	7
		5	5	3
+	1	5	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (553 + 1580 = 2133) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 27 equals:

2133
