How to calculate 38 multiplied by 27

How to calculate 38 multiplied by 27 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 38 times 27 using long multiplication:

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

	3	8
x	2	7

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Put 6 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	3	8
x	2	7
		6

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 3 = 21. Take 21 and add 5 from the previous step to get 26. Enter 26 at the bottom:

		3	8
x		2	7
	2	6	6

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	7
	2	6	6
+			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	7
	2	6	6
+		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	7
	2	6	6
+	7	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (266 + 760 = 1026) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 38 times 27 equals:

1026
