How to calculate 87 multiplied by 64

How to calculate 87 multiplied by 64 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 87 times 64 using long multiplication:

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

	8	7
x	6	4

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

	2
	8	7
x	6	4
		8

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Take 32 and add 2 from the previous step to get 34. Enter 34 at the bottom:

		8	7
x		6	4
	3	4	8

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	4
	3	4	8
+			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	4
	3	4	8
+		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	4
		3	4	8
+	5	2	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (348 + 5220 = 5568) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 87 times 64 equals:

5568
