How to calculate 95 multiplied by 72

How to calculate 95 multiplied by 72 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 95 times 72 using long multiplication:

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

	9	5
x	7	2

Step 2: Multiply
5 x 2 = 10. Put 0 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	9	5
x	7	2
		0

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Take 18 and add 1 from the previous step to get 19. Enter 19 at the bottom:

		9	5
x		7	2
	1	9	0

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

		9	5
x		7	2
	1	9	0
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
7 x 5 = 35. Put 5 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

		3
		9	5
x		7	2
	1	9	0
+		5	0

Step 6: Multiply
7 x 9 = 63. Take 63 and add 3 from the previous step to get 66. Enter 66 at the bottom:

			9	5
x			7	2
		1	9	0
+	6	6	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (190 + 6650 = 6840) to get the answer:

			9	5
x			7	2
		1	9	0
+	6	6	5	0
=	6	8	4	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 95 times 72 equals:

6840
