How to calculate 26 multiplied by 17

How to calculate 26 multiplied by 17 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 26 times 17 using long multiplication:

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

	2	6
x	1	7

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Put 2 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	2	6
x	1	7
		2

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 2 = 14. Take 14 and add 4 from the previous step to get 18. Enter 18 at the bottom:

		2	6
x		1	7
	1	8	2

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

		2	6
x		1	7
	1	8	2
+			0

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

		0
		2	6
x		1	7
	1	8	2
+		6	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	6
x		1	7
	1	8	2
+	2	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (182 + 260 = 442) to get the answer:

		2	6
x		1	7
	1	8	2
+	2	6	0
=	4	4	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 26 times 17 equals:

442
