How to calculate 98 multiplied by 87

How to calculate 98 multiplied by 87 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 98 times 87 using long multiplication:

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

	9	8
x	8	7

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 7 = 56. Put 6 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	9	8
x	8	7
		6

Step 3: 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		8	7
	6	8	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		8	7
	6	8	6
+			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	7
	6	8	6
+		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	7
		6	8	6
+	7	8	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (686 + 7840 = 8526) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 98 times 87 equals:

8526
