How to calculate 17 multiplied by 15

How to calculate 17 multiplied by 15 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 17 times 15 using long multiplication:

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

	1	7
x	1	5

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 5 = 35. Put 5 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	1	7
x	1	5
		5

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 1 = 5. Take 5 and add 3 from the previous step to get 8. Enter 8 at the bottom:

	1	7
x	1	5
	8	5

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

	1	7
x	1	5
	8	5
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	1	7
x	1	5
	8	5
+	7	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	7
x		1	5
		8	5
+	1	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (85 + 170 = 255) to get the answer:

		1	7
x		1	5
		8	5
+	1	7	0
=	2	5	5

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 17 times 15 equals:

255
