How to calculate 98 multiplied by 19

How to calculate 98 multiplied by 19 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 98 times 19 using long multiplication:

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

	9	8
x	1	9

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

	7
	9	8
x	1	9
		2

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 9 = 81. Take 81 and add 7 from the previous step to get 88. Enter 88 at the bottom:

		9	8
x		1	9
	8	8	2

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

		9	8
x		1	9
	8	8	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 8 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		9	8
x		1	9
	8	8	2
+		8	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 9 = 9. Take 9 and add 0 from the previous step to get 9. Enter 9 at the bottom:

		9	8
x		1	9
	8	8	2
+	9	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (882 + 980 = 1862) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 98 times 19 equals:

1862
