First, write the factors 996 and 32 in the following arrangement:

Next, take the last digit of 32, which is 2, and multiply it by 996. To do so, first, multiply 2 times 6:


2*6=12

Write the units below the column of the 6, and save the remaining 10 units to be added in the next step.

Next, multiply 2 by the next digit from right to left of 996, which is 9:


2*9=18

Add 1 to the result, since it was a remainder from the last operation:


18+1=19

Write a 9 below the second colum, and save the remaining 10 units to be added on the next step.

Repeat the procedure for the third digit of 996 from right to left, which is 9.


2*9=18
18+1=19

Since there are no more digits from the upper number, write 19 below the third colum.

Now, repeat the procedure with the next digit from the lower number (32), which is 3. Write the result one place shifted to the left.


3*6=18

Next, move to the next digit from right to left of the upper number, which is 9:


3*9=27
27+1=28

Next, move to the next and last digit from right to left of the upper number, which is 9:


\begin{gathered} 3*9=27 \\ 27+2=29 \end{gathered}

Fill the blank space at the right of the last row with a 0 and add both numbers:


1992+29880=31872

Therefore:


996*32=31872
