How to calculate 86 multiplied by 28

How to calculate 86 multiplied by 28 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 86 times 28 using long multiplication:

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

	8	6
x	2	8

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

	4
	8	6
x	2	8
		8

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 8 = 64. Take 64 and add 4 from the previous step to get 68. Enter 68 at the bottom:

		8	6
x		2	8
	6	8	8

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

		8	6
x		2	8
	6	8	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 6 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Take 16 and add 1 from the previous step to get 17. Enter 17 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (688 + 1720 = 2408) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 86 times 28 equals:

2408
