To find the product of 896 and 286 using the standard algorithm, we can proceed as follows:
-
Set up the numbers for multiplication:
896 × 286
-
Multiply 896 by each digit of 286, starting from the right (the units place):
- Multiply 896 by 6 (the units place of 286):
896
× 6
5376 (this is 6 × 896)
- Multiply 896 by 8 (the tens place of 286) and remember to add a zero at the end:
896 × 80
71680 (this is 80 × 896, or 8 × 896 with a zero added)
- Multiply 896 by 2 (the hundreds place of 286) and add two zeros at the end:
896 × 200
179200 (this is 200 × 896, or 2 × 896 with two zeros added)
- Multiply 896 by 6 (the units place of 286):
-
Now, add all the products together:
5376 +71680 +179200 --------- 256256
Thus, the product of 896 and 286 is 256256.
