How to calculate 83 multiplied by 20

How to calculate 83 multiplied by 20 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 83 times 20 using long multiplication:

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

	8	3
x	2	0

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

	0
	8	3
x	2	0
		0

Step 3: Multiply
0 x 8 = 0. Take 0 and add 0 from the previous step to get 0. Enter 0 at the bottom:

	8	3
x	2	0
	0	0

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

	8	3
x	2	0
	0	0
+		0

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

	0
	8	3
x	2	0
	0	0
+	6	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Take 16 and add 0 from the previous step to get 16. Enter 16 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (0 + 1660 = 1660) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 83 times 20 equals:

1660
