How to calculate 68 multiplied by 26

How to calculate 68 multiplied by 26 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 68 times 26 using long multiplication:

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

	6	8
x	2	6

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

	4
	6	8
x	2	6
		8

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Take 36 and add 4 from the previous step to get 40. Enter 40 at the bottom:

		6	8
x		2	6
	4	0	8

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

		6	8
x		2	6
	4	0	8
+			0

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

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

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 6 = 12. Take 12 and add 1 from the previous step to get 13. Enter 13 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (408 + 1360 = 1768) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 68 times 26 equals:

1768
