How to calculate 96 multiplied by 23

How to calculate 96 multiplied by 23 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 96 times 23 using long multiplication:

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

	9	6
x	2	3

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 3 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	9	6
x	2	3
		8

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 9 = 27. Take 27 and add 1 from the previous step to get 28. Enter 28 at the bottom:

		9	6
x		2	3
	2	8	8

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

		9	6
x		2	3
	2	8	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 6 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Take 18 and add 1 from the previous step to get 19. Enter 19 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (288 + 1920 = 2208) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 96 times 23 equals:

2208
