How to calculate 89 multiplied by 79

How to calculate 89 multiplied by 79 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 89 times 79 using long multiplication:

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

	8	9
x	7	9

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 9 = 81. Put 1 below the line and 8 as a reminder on top:

	8
	8	9
x	7	9
		1

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 8 = 72. Take 72 and add 8 from the previous step to get 80. Enter 80 at the bottom:

		8	9
x		7	9
	8	0	1

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		7	9
	8	0	1
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
7 x 9 = 63. Put 3 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

Step 6: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Take 56 and add 6 from the previous step to get 62. Enter 62 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (801 + 6230 = 7031) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 89 times 79 equals:
