How to calculate 84 multiplied by 52

How to calculate 84 multiplied by 52 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 84 times 52 using long multiplication:

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

	8	4
x	5	2

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

	0
	8	4
x	5	2
		8

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	4
x		5	2
	1	6	8

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

		8	4
x		5	2
	1	6	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 4 = 20. Put 0 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Take 40 and add 2 from the previous step to get 42. Enter 42 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (168 + 4200 = 4368) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 84 times 52 equals:

4368
