How to calculate 88 multiplied by 79

How to calculate 88 multiplied by 79 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 88 times 79 using long multiplication:

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

	8	8
x	7	9

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 9 = 72. Put 2 below the line and 7 as a reminder on top:

	7
	8	8
x	7	9
		2

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 8 = 72. Take 72 and add 7 from the previous step to get 79. Enter 79 at the bottom:

		8	8
x		7	9
	7	9	2

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		7	9
	7	9	2
+			0

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

		5
		8	8
x		7	9
	7	9	2
+		6	0

Step 6: 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			7	9
		7	9	2
+	6	1	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (792 + 6160 = 6952) to get the answer:

			8	8
x			7	9
		7	9	2
+	6	1	6	0
=	6	9	5	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 88 times 79 equals:

6952
