How to calculate 79 multiplied by 68

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 68 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 68 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	6	8

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 8 = 72. Put 2 below the line and 7 as a reminder on top:

	7
	7	9
x	6	8
		2

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Take 56 and add 7 from the previous step to get 63. Enter 63 at the bottom:

		7	9
x		6	8
	6	3	2

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		6	8
	6	3	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 9 = 54. Put 4 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

		5
		7	9
x		6	8
	6	3	2
+		4	0

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Take 42 and add 5 from the previous step to get 47. Enter 47 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (632 + 4740 = 5372) to get the answer:

			7	9
x			6	8
		6	3	2
+	4	7	4	0
=	5	3	7	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 68 equals:
