How to calculate 88 multiplied by 15

How to calculate 88 multiplied by 15 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 88 times 15 using long multiplication:

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

	8	8
x	1	5

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 5 = 40. Put 0 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	8	8
x	1	5
		0

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Take 40 and add 4 from the previous step to get 44. Enter 44 at the bottom:

		8	8
x		1	5
	4	4	0

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

		8	8
x		1	5
	4	4	0
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 8 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		8	8
x		1	5
	4	4	0
+		8	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	8
x		1	5
	4	4	0
+	8	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (440 + 880 = 1320) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 88 times 15 equals:

1320
