How to calculate 79 multiplied by 52

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 52 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 52 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	5	2

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

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

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 9 = 45. Put 5 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 7 = 35. Take 35 and add 4 from the previous step to get 39. Enter 39 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (158 + 3950 = 4108) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 52 equals:

4108
