How to calculate 88 multiplied by 27

How to calculate 88 multiplied by 27 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 88 times 27 using long multiplication:

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

	8	8
x	2	7

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Put 6 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	8	8
x	2	7
		6

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Take 56 and add 5 from the previous step to get 61. Enter 61 at the bottom:

		8	8
x		2	7
	6	1	6

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		2	7
	6	1	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (616 + 1760 = 2376) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 88 times 27 equals:

2376
