How to calculate 99 multiplied by 96

How to calculate 99 multiplied by 96 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 99 times 96 using long multiplication:

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

	9	9
x	9	6

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

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

Step 5: Multiply
9 x 9 = 81. Put 1 below the line and 8 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
9 x 9 = 81. Take 81 and add 8 from the previous step to get 89. Enter 89 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (594 + 8910 = 9504) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 99 times 96 equals:

9504
