How to calculate 79 multiplied by 43

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 43 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 43 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	4	3

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

	2
	7	9
x	4	3
		7

Step 3: 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		4	3
	2	3	7

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		4	3
	2	3	7
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 9 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: 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			4	3
		2	3	7
+	3	1	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (237 + 3160 = 3397) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 43 equals:

3397
