How to calculate 91 multiplied by 72

How to calculate 91 multiplied by 72 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 91 times 72 using long multiplication:

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

	9	1
x	7	2

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

	0
	9	1
x	7	2
		2

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Take 18 and add 0 from the previous step to get 18. Enter 18 at the bottom:

		9	1
x		7	2
	1	8	2

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

		9	1
x		7	2
	1	8	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
7 x 1 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		9	1
x		7	2
	1	8	2
+		7	0

Step 6: Multiply
7 x 9 = 63. Take 63 and add 0 from the previous step to get 63. Enter 63 at the bottom:

			9	1
x			7	2
		1	8	2
+	6	3	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (182 + 6370 = 6552) to get the answer:

			9	1
x			7	2
		1	8	2
+	6	3	7	0
=	6	5	5	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 91 times 72 equals:

6552
