How to calculate 96 multiplied by 96

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

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

	9	6
x	9	6

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	9	6
x	9	6
		6

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 9 = 54. Take 54 and add 3 from the previous step to get 57. Enter 57 at the bottom:

		9	6
x		9	6
	5	7	6

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		9	6
	5	7	6
+			0

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

		5
		9	6
x		9	6
	5	7	6
+		4	0

Step 6: Multiply
9 x 9 = 81. Take 81 and add 5 from the previous step to get 86. Enter 86 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (576 + 8640 = 9216) to get the answer:

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

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

9216
