Long Multiplication Worksheets — KS2

Long multiplication involves multiplying the top number by each digit of the bottom number separately, then adding the partial products. For example, 347 × 24: first multiply 347 × 4 = 1388, then multiply 347 × 20 = 6940 (writing a 0 in the units column), then add 1388 + 6940 = 8328. Our worksheets provide pre-drawn columns and clear place-value guidance so children keep digits in the correct columns.

The most common errors are: forgetting to write the 0 placeholder when multiplying by the tens digit, carrying errors (writing the carry digit in the wrong column), and addition errors in the final step. Our worksheets include answer keys with fully worked solutions at each step, so children and parents can identify exactly where an error occurred rather than just knowing the final answer is wrong.
