How to calculate 83 multiplied by 71

How to calculate 83 multiplied by 71 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 83 times 71 using long multiplication:

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

	8	3
x	7	1

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 1 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	8	3
x	7	1
		3

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

	8	3
x	7	1
	8	3

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

	8	3
x	7	1
	8	3
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
7 x 3 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	8	3
x	7	1
	8	3
+	1	0

Step 6: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Take 56 and add 2 from the previous step to get 58. Enter 58 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (83 + 5810 = 5893) to get the answer:

			8	3
x			7	1
			8	3
+	5	8	1	0
=	5	8	9	3

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 83 times 71 equals:

5893
