How to calculate 18 multiplied by 16

How to calculate 18 multiplied by 16 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 18 times 16 using long multiplication:

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

	1	8
x	1	6

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 6 = 48. Put 8 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	1	8
x	1	6
		8

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 1 = 6. Take 6 and add 4 from the previous step to get 10. Enter 10 at the bottom:

		1	8
x		1	6
	1	0	8

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

		1	8
x		1	6
	1	0	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 8 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		1	8
x		1	6
	1	0	8
+		8	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	8
x		1	6
	1	0	8
+	1	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (108 + 180 = 288) to get the answer:

		1	8
x		1	6
	1	0	8
+	1	8	0
=	2	8	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 18 times 16 equals:

288
