How to calculate 30 multiplied by 26

How to calculate 30 multiplied by 26 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 30 times 26 using long multiplication:

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

	3	0
x	2	6

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

	0
	3	0
x	2	6
		0

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 3 = 18. Take 18 and add 0 from the previous step to get 18. Enter 18 at the bottom:

		3	0
x		2	6
	1	8	0

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

		3	0
x		2	6
	1	8	0
+			0

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

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

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (180 + 600 = 780) to get the answer:

		3	0
x		2	6
	1	8	0
+	6	0	0
=	7	8	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 30 times 26 equals:

780
