How to calculate 98 multiplied by 74

How to calculate 98 multiplied by 74 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 98 times 74 using long multiplication:

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

	9	8
x	7	4

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 4 = 32. Put 2 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	9	8
x	7	4
		2

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 9 = 36. Take 36 and add 3 from the previous step to get 39. Enter 39 at the bottom:

		9	8
x		7	4
	3	9	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		7	4
	3	9	2
+			0

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

		5
		9	8
x		7	4
	3	9	2
+		6	0

Step 6: Multiply
7 x 9 = 63. Take 63 and add 5 from the previous step to get 68. Enter 68 at the bottom:

			9	8
x			7	4
		3	9	2
+	6	8	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (392 + 6860 = 7252) to get the answer:

			9	8
x			7	4
		3	9	2
+	6	8	6	0
=	7	2	5	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 98 times 74 equals:
