How to calculate 97 multiplied by 83

How to calculate 97 multiplied by 83 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 97 times 83 using long multiplication:

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

	9	7
x	8	3

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 3 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	9	7
x	8	3
		1

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 9 = 27. Take 27 and add 2 from the previous step to get 29. Enter 29 at the bottom:

		9	7
x		8	3
	2	9	1

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		8	3
	2	9	1
+			0

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

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

Step 6: 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			8	3
		2	9	1
+	7	7	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (291 + 7760 = 8051) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 97 times 83 equals:

8051
