How to calculate 81 multiplied by 24

How to calculate 81 multiplied by 24 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 81 times 24 using long multiplication:

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

	8	1
x	2	4

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 4 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	8	1
x	2	4
		4

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Take 32 and add 0 from the previous step to get 32. Enter 32 at the bottom:

		8	1
x		2	4
	3	2	4

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

		8	1
x		2	4
	3	2	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 1 = 2. Put 2 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		8	1
x		2	4
	3	2	4
+		2	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Take 16 and add 0 from the previous step to get 16. Enter 16 at the bottom:

			8	1
x			2	4
		3	2	4
+	1	6	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (324 + 1620 = 1944) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 81 times 24 equals:

1944
