How to calculate 81 multiplied by 37

How to calculate 81 multiplied by 37 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 81 times 37 using long multiplication:

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

	8	1
x	3	7

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	8	1
x	3	7
		7

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Take 56 and add 0 from the previous step to get 56. Enter 56 at the bottom:

		8	1
x		3	7
	5	6	7

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		3	7
	5	6	7
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 1 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		8	1
x		3	7
	5	6	7
+		3	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Take 24 and add 0 from the previous step to get 24. Enter 24 at the bottom:

			8	1
x			3	7
		5	6	7
+	2	4	3	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (567 + 2430 = 2997) to get the answer:

			8	1
x			3	7
		5	6	7
+	2	4	3	0
=	2	9	9	7

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 81 times 37 equals:

2997
