How to calculate 23 multiplied by 17

How to calculate 23 multiplied by 17 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 23 times 17 using long multiplication:

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

	2	3
x	1	7

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	2	3
x	1	7
		1

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 2 = 14. Take 14 and add 2 from the previous step to get 16. Enter 16 at the bottom:

		2	3
x		1	7
	1	6	1

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

		2	3
x		1	7
	1	6	1
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 3 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		2	3
x		1	7
	1	6	1
+		3	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 2 = 2. Take 2 and add 0 from the previous step to get 2. Enter 2 at the bottom:

		2	3
x		1	7
	1	6	1
+	2	3	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (161 + 230 = 391) to get the answer:

		2	3
x		1	7
	1	6	1
+	2	3	0
=	3	9	1

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 23 times 17 equals:

391
