How to calculate 99 multiplied by 26

How to calculate 99 multiplied by 26 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 99 times 26 using long multiplication:

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

	9	9
x	2	6

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 6 = 54. Put 4 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	9	9
x	2	6
		4

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 9 = 54. Take 54 and add 5 from the previous step to get 59. Enter 59 at the bottom:

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

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Take 18 and add 1 from the previous step to get 19. Enter 19 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (594 + 1980 = 2574) to get the answer:

			9	9
x			2	6
		5	9	4
+	1	9	8	0
=	2	5	7	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 99 times 26 equals:

2574
