How to calculate 99 multiplied by 61 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 99 times 61 using long multiplication:

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

	9	9
x	6	1

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 1 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	9	9
x	6	1
		9

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	9
x	6	1
	9	9

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

	9	9
x	6	1
	9	9
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
6 x 9 = 54. Put 4 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

Step 6: Multiply
6 x 9 = 54. Take 54 and add 5 from the previous step to get 59. Enter 59 at the bottom:

			9	9
x			6	1
			9	9
+	5	9	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (99 + 5940 = 6039) to get the answer:

			9	9
x			6	1
			9	9
+	5	9	4	0
=	6	0	3	9

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 99 times 61 equals:
