Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 71 plus 2 (71 + 2) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 7 | 1 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 2 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (1 + 2 = 3) like this:
| 7 | 1 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 2 | ||||||

| 7 | 1 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 2 | ||||||
| 7 | 3 |
And that is how you solve 71 plus 2 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
