How to calculate 87 multiplied by 29

How to calculate 87 multiplied by 29 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 87 times 29 using long multiplication:

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

	8	7
x	2	9

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

	6
	8	7
x	2	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		2	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		2	9
	7	8	3
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Put 4 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (783 + 1740 = 2523) to get the answer:

			8	7
x			2	9
		7	8	3
+	1	7	4	0
=	2	5	2	3

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 87 times 29 equals:

2523
