How to calculate 86 multiplied by 61

How to calculate 86 multiplied by 61 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 86 times 61 using long multiplication:

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

	8	6
x	6	1

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 1 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	8	6
x	6	1
		6

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	6
x	6	1
	8	6

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

	8	6
x	6	1
	8	6
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 8 = 48. Take 48 and add 3 from the previous step to get 51. Enter 51 at the bottom:

			8	6
x			6	1
			8	6

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (86 + 5160 = 5246) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 86 times 61 equals:
