How to calculate 88 multiplied by 86

How to calculate 88 multiplied by 86 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 88 times 86 using long multiplication:

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

	8	8
x	8	6

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 6 = 48. Put 8 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	8	8
x	8	6
		8

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 8 = 48. Take 48 and add 4 from the previous step to get 52. Enter 52 at the bottom:

		8	8
x		8	6
	5	2	8

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		8	6
	5	2	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
8 x 8 = 64. Put 4 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
8 x 8 = 64. Take 64 and add 6 from the previous step to get 70. Enter 70 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (528 + 7040 = 7568) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 88 times 86 equals:

7568
