How to calculate 87 multiplied by 30

How to calculate 87 multiplied by 30 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 87 times 30 using long multiplication:

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

	8	7
x	3	0

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

	0
	8	7
x	3	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	7
x	3	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	7
x	3	0
	0	0
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	8	7
x	3	0
	0	0
+	1	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Take 24 and add 2 from the previous step to get 26. Enter 26 at the bottom:

			8	7
x			3	0
			0	0
+	2	6	1	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (0 + 2610 = 2610) to get the answer:

			8	7
x			3	0
			0	0
+	2	6	1	0
=	2	6	1	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 87 times 30 equals:

2610
