How to calculate 87 multiplied by 19

How to calculate 87 multiplied by 19 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 87 times 19 using long multiplication:

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

	8	7
x	1	9

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 9 = 63. Put 3 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

	6
	8	7
x	1	9
		3

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 8 = 72. Take 72 and add 6 from the previous step to get 78. Enter 78 at the bottom:

		8	7
x		1	9
	7	8	3

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

		8	7
x		1	9
	7	8	3
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		8	7
x		1	9
	7	8	3
+		7	0

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

		8	7
x		1	9
	7	8	3
+	8	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (783 + 870 = 1653) to get the answer:

			8	7
x			1	9
		7	8	3
+		8	7	0
=	1	6	5	3

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 87 times 19 equals:

1653
