How to calculate 79 multiplied by 32

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 32 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 32 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	3	2

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

	1
	7	9
x	3	2
		8

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	9
x		3	2
	1	5	8

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		3	2
	1	5	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 9 = 27. Put 7 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Take 21 and add 2 from the previous step to get 23. Enter 23 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (158 + 2370 = 2528) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 32 equals:

2528
