How to calculate 24 multiplied by 16

How to calculate 24 multiplied by 16 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 24 times 16 using long multiplication:

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

	2	4
x	1	6

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 6 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	2	4
x	1	6
		4

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 2 = 12. Take 12 and add 2 from the previous step to get 14. Enter 14 at the bottom:

		2	4
x		1	6
	1	4	4

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

		2	4
x		1	6
	1	4	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 4 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		2	4
x		1	6
	1	4	4
+		4	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	4
x		1	6
	1	4	4
+	2	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (144 + 240 = 384) to get the answer:

		2	4
x		1	6
	1	4	4
+	2	4	0
=	3	8	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 24 times 16 equals:

384
