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

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

	2	3
x	2	3

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 3 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	2	3
x	2	3
		9

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 2 = 6. Take 6 and add 0 from the previous step to get 6. Enter 6 at the bottom:

	2	3
x	2	3
	6	9

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	2	3
	6	9
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 3 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (69 + 460 = 529) to get the answer:

		2	3
x		2	3
		6	9
+	4	6	0
=	5	2	9

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

529
