How to calculate 89 multiplied by 86

How to calculate 89 multiplied by 86 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 89 times 86 using long multiplication:

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

	8	9
x	8	6

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 6 = 54. Put 4 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	8	9
x	8	6
		4

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 8 = 48. Take 48 and add 5 from the previous step to get 53. Enter 53 at the bottom:

		8	9
x		8	6
	5	3	4

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		8	6
	5	3	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
8 x 9 = 72. Put 2 below the line and 7 as a reminder on top:

		7
		8	9
x		8	6
	5	3	4
+		2	0

Step 6: 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			8	6
		5	3	4
+	7	1	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (534 + 7120 = 7654) to get the answer:

			8	9
x			8	6
		5	3	4
+	7	1	2	0
=	7	6	5	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 89 times 86 equals:
