How to calculate 73 multiplied by 26

How to calculate 73 multiplied by 26 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 73 times 26 using long multiplication:

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

	7	3
x	2	6

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 6 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	7	3
x	2	6
		8

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Take 42 and add 1 from the previous step to get 43. Enter 43 at the bottom:

		7	3
x		2	6
	4	3	8

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

		7	3
x		2	6
	4	3	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 3 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Take 14 and add 0 from the previous step to get 14. Enter 14 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (438 + 1460 = 1898) to get the answer:

			7	3
x			2	6
		4	3	8
+	1	4	6	0
=	1	8	9	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 73 times 26 equals:

1898
