How to calculate 98 multiplied by 52

How to calculate 98 multiplied by 52 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 98 times 52 using long multiplication:

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

	9	8
x	5	2

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 2 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	9	8
x	5	2
		6

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Take 18 and add 1 from the previous step to get 19. Enter 19 at the bottom:

		9	8
x		5	2
	1	9	6

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		5	2
	1	9	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Put 0 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 9 = 45. Take 45 and add 4 from the previous step to get 49. Enter 49 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (196 + 4900 = 5096) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 98 times 52 equals:

5096
