How to calculate 97 multiplied by 71

How to calculate 97 multiplied by 71 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 97 times 71 using long multiplication:

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

	9	7
x	7	1

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 1 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	9	7
x	7	1
		7

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

	9	7
x	7	1
	9	7

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

	9	7
x	7	1
	9	7
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Put 9 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

Step 6: Multiply
7 x 9 = 63. Take 63 and add 4 from the previous step to get 67. Enter 67 at the bottom:

			9	7
x			7	1
			9	7
+	6	7	9	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (97 + 6790 = 6887) to get the answer:

			9	7
x			7	1
			9	7
+	6	7	9	0
=	6	8	8	7

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 97 times 71 equals:

6887
