How to calculate 97 multiplied by 28

How to calculate 97 multiplied by 28 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 97 times 28 using long multiplication:

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

	9	7
x	2	8

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Put 6 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	9	7
x	2	8
		6

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 9 = 72. Take 72 and add 5 from the previous step to get 77. Enter 77 at the bottom:

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

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Put 4 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (776 + 1940 = 2716) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 97 times 28 equals:

2716
