How to calculate 79 multiplied by 16

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 16 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 16 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	1	6

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 6 = 54. Put 4 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	7	9
x	1	6
		4

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 7 = 42. Take 42 and add 5 from the previous step to get 47. Enter 47 at the bottom:

		7	9
x		1	6
	4	7	4

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

		7	9
x		1	6
	4	7	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 9 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		7	9
x		1	6
	4	7	4
+		9	0

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

		7	9
x		1	6
	4	7	4
+	7	9	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (474 + 790 = 1264) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 16 equals:

1264
