Long Multiplication: 34 × 7
What is 34 × 7?
Answer
34 × 7 and 7 × 34 are the same product — the order of the factors never changes the answer, only the working. Below, 34 is multiplied by 7 in a column, digit by digit.
34 × 7 in a Column
The multiplicand goes on top, the multiplier underneath, both aligned on the right. The multiplier has a single digit, so there is one partial product and the answer goes straight under the line.

| 2 | 3 | 8 |
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Multiply the multiplicand by the last digit of the multiplier, 7: 34 × 7 = 238.
- 4 × 7 = 28. Write 8 and carry 2.
- 3 × 7 = 21, plus the carried 2 makes 23. Write 3 and carry 2.
- No digits are left, so the carried 2 is written in front: the partial product is 238.
34 × 7
=238
Check It, and What It Is Not
Check by dividing back. Multiplication and division undo each other, so 238 ÷ 7 = 34 must come out exactly, with no remainder.
Fractions are a different calculation. Both factors here are whole numbers; for 2/3 or 2 3/4 use the fraction multiplication calculator, which multiplies numerators and denominators separately.
34 × 7 is a number, not an area. If those are the sides of a room in feet, the answer is 238 square feet — the same arithmetic, a different question, and it is answered by the square footage calculator.
