How to calculate 84 multiplied by 77

How to calculate 84 multiplied by 77 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 84 times 77 using long multiplication:

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

	8	4
x	7	7

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	8	4
x	7	7
		8

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Take 56 and add 2 from the previous step to get 58. Enter 58 at the bottom:

		8	4
x		7	7
	5	8	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		7	7
	5	8	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
7 x 4 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

+	5	8	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (588 + 5880 = 6468) to get the answer:

			8	4
x			7	7
		5	8	8
+	5	8	8	0
=	6	4	6	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 84 times 77 equals:
