How to calculate 98 multiplied by 83

How to calculate 98 multiplied by 83 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 98 times 83 using long multiplication:

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

	9	8
x	8	3

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 3 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	9	8
x	8	3
		4

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	8
x		8	3
	2	9	4

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		8	3
	2	9	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
8 x 8 = 64. Put 4 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
8 x 9 = 72. Take 72 and add 6 from the previous step to get 78. Enter 78 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (294 + 7840 = 8134) to get the answer:

			9	8
x			8	3
		2	9	4
+	7	8	4	0
=	8	1	3	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 98 times 83 equals:
