How to calculate 36 multiplied by 16

How to calculate 36 multiplied by 16 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 36 times 16 using long multiplication:

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

	3	6
x	1	6

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	3	6
x	1	6
		6

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 3 = 18. Take 18 and add 3 from the previous step to get 21. Enter 21 at the bottom:

		3	6
x		1	6
	2	1	6

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

		3	6
x		1	6
	2	1	6
+			0

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

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

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (216 + 360 = 576) to get the answer:

		3	6
x		1	6
	2	1	6
+	3	6	0
=	5	7	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 36 times 16 equals:

576
