How to calculate 79 multiplied by 34

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 34 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 34 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	3	4

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (316 + 2370 = 2686) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 34 equals:

2686
