How to calculate 84 multiplied by 61

How to calculate 84 multiplied by 61 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 84 times 61 using long multiplication:

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

	8	4
x	6	1

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

	0
	8	4
x	6	1
		4

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	4
x	6	1
	8	4

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	6	1
	8	4
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 4 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	8	4
x	6	1
	8	4
+	4	0

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 8 = 48. Take 48 and add 2 from the previous step to get 50. Enter 50 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (84 + 5040 = 5124) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 84 times 61 equals:

5124
