How to calculate 88 multiplied by 88

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

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

	8	8
x	8	8

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 8 = 64. Put 4 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

	6
	8	8
x	8	8
		4

Step 3: 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	8
	7	0	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		8	8
	7	0	4
+			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	8
	7	0	4
+		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	8
		7	0	4
+	7	0	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (704 + 7040 = 7744) to get the answer:

			8	8
x			8	8
		7	0	4
+	7	0	4	0
=	7	7	4	4

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

7744
