How to calculate 79 multiplied by 71

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 71 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 71 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	7	1

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 1 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	7	9
x	7	1
		9

Step 3: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Take 7 and add 0 from the previous step to get 7. Enter 7 at the bottom:

	7	9
x	7	1
	7	9

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	7	1
	7	9
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
7 x 9 = 63. Put 3 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

	6
	7	9
x	7	1
	7	9
+	3	0

Step 6: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Take 49 and add 6 from the previous step to get 55. Enter 55 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (79 + 5530 = 5609) to get the answer:

			7	9
x			7	1
			7	9
+	5	5	3	0
=	5	6	0	9

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 71 equals:

5609
