How to calculate 89 multiplied by 38

How to calculate 89 multiplied by 38 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 89 times 38 using long multiplication:

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

	8	9
x	3	8

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

	7
	8	9
x	3	8
		2

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 8 = 64. Take 64 and add 7 from the previous step to get 71. Enter 71 at the bottom:

		8	9
x		3	8
	7	1	2

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

		8	9
x		3	8
	7	1	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 9 = 27. Put 7 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

		2
		8	9
x		3	8
	7	1	2
+		7	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Take 24 and add 2 from the previous step to get 26. Enter 26 at the bottom:

			8	9
x			3	8
		7	1	2
+	2	6	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (712 + 2670 = 3382) to get the answer:

			8	9
x			3	8
		7	1	2
+	2	6	7	0
=	3	3	8	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 89 times 38 equals:

3382
