How to calculate 98 multiplied by 84

How to calculate 98 multiplied by 84 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 98 times 84 using long multiplication:

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

	9	8
x	8	4

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (392 + 7840 = 8232) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 98 times 84 equals:

8232
