How to calculate 88 multiplied by 43

How to calculate 88 multiplied by 43 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 88 times 43 using long multiplication:

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

	8	8
x	4	3

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 3 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	8	8
x	4	3
		4

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

		8	8
x		4	3
	2	6	4

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		4	3
	2	6	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Put 2 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

		3
		8	8
x		4	3
	2	6	4
+		2	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Take 32 and add 3 from the previous step to get 35. Enter 35 at the bottom:

			8	8
x			4	3
		2	6	4
+	3	5	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (264 + 3520 = 3784) to get the answer:

			8	8
x			4	3
		2	6	4
+	3	5	2	0
=	3	7	8	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 88 times 43 equals:

3784
