How to calculate 82 multiplied by 42

How to calculate 82 multiplied by 42 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 82 times 42 using long multiplication:

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

	8	2
x	4	2

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

	0
	8	2
x	4	2
		4

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Take 16 and add 0 from the previous step to get 16. Enter 16 at the bottom:

		8	2
x		4	2
	1	6	4

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

		8	2
x		4	2
	1	6	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 2 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Take 32 and add 0 from the previous step to get 32. Enter 32 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (164 + 3280 = 3444) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 82 times 42 equals:

3444
