Long Multiplication: 800 × 2
What is 800 × 2?
Answer
800 × 2 and 2 × 800 are the same product — the order of the factors never changes the answer, only the working. Below, 800 is multiplied by 2 in a column, digit by digit.
800 × 2 in a Column
The multiplicand goes on top, the multiplier underneath, both aligned on the right. The multiplier has a single digit, so there is one partial product and the answer goes straight under the line.
| 8 | 0 | 0 | ||
| × | 2 | |||
| 1 | 6 | 0 | 0 |
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Multiply the multiplicand by the last digit of the multiplier, 2: 800 × 2 = 1,600.
- 0 × 2 = 0. Write 0.
- 0 × 2 = 0. Write 0.
- 8 × 2 = 16. Write 6 and carry 1.
- No digits are left, so the carried 1 is written in front: the partial product is 1,600.

=1,600
Check It, and What It Is Not
Check by dividing back. Multiplication and division undo each other, so 1,600 ÷ 2 = 800 must come out exactly, with no remainder.
Fractions are a different calculation. Both factors here are whole numbers; for 2/3 or 2 3/4 use the fraction multiplication calculator, which multiplies numerators and denominators separately.
800 × 2 is a number, not an area. If those are the sides of a room in feet, the answer is 1,600 square feet — the same arithmetic, a different question, and it is answered by the square footage calculator.
