How to calculate 26 multiplied by 18

How to calculate 26 multiplied by 18 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 26 times 18 using long multiplication:

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

	2	6
x	1	8

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

	4
	2	6
x	1	8
		8

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 2 = 16. Take 16 and add 4 from the previous step to get 20. Enter 20 at the bottom:

		2	6
x		1	8
	2	0	8

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	8
	2	0	8
+			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	8
	2	0	8
+		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	8
	2	0	8
+	2	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (208 + 260 = 468) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 26 times 18 equals:

468
