How to calculate 87 multiplied by 63

How to calculate 87 multiplied by 63 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 87 times 63 using long multiplication:

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

	8	7
x	6	3

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

	2
	8	7
x	6	3
		1

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Take 24 and add 2 from the previous step to get 26. Enter 26 at the bottom:

		8	7
x		6	3
	2	6	1

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

		8	7
x		6	3
	2	6	1
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Put 2 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

		4
		8	7
x		6	3
	2	6	1
+		2	0

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 8 = 48. Take 48 and add 4 from the previous step to get 52. Enter 52 at the bottom:

			8	7
x			6	3
		2	6	1
+	5	2	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (261 + 5220 = 5481) to get the answer:

			8	7
x			6	3
		2	6	1
+	5	2	2	0
=	5	4	8	1

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 87 times 63 equals:
