How to calculate 38 multiplied by 23

How to calculate 38 multiplied by 23 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 38 times 23 using long multiplication:

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

	3	8
x	2	3

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 3 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	3	8
x	2	3
		4

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 3 = 9. Take 9 and add 2 from the previous step to get 11. Enter 11 at the bottom:

		3	8
x		2	3
	1	1	4

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

		3	8
x		2	3
	1	1	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 3 = 6. Take 6 and add 1 from the previous step to get 7. Enter 7 at the bottom:

		3	8
x		2	3
	1	1	4
+	7	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (114 + 760 = 874) to get the answer:

		3	8
x		2	3
	1	1	4
+	7	6	0
=	8	7	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 38 times 23 equals:

874
