How to calculate 16 multiplied by 16

How to calculate 16 multiplied by 16 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 16 times 16 using long multiplication:

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

	1	6
x	1	6

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	1	6
x	1	6
		6

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 1 = 6. Take 6 and add 3 from the previous step to get 9. Enter 9 at the bottom:

	1	6
x	1	6
	9	6

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

	1	6
x	1	6
	9	6
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 6 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	1	6
x	1	6
	9	6
+	6	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 1 = 1. Take 1 and add 0 from the previous step to get 1. Enter 1 at the bottom:

		1	6
x		1	6
		9	6
+	1	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (96 + 160 = 256) to get the answer:

		1	6
x		1	6
		9	6
+	1	6	0
=	2	5	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 16 times 16 equals:

256
