Hexadecimal multiplication example with steps

The steps to multiply hexadecimal numbers are very simple if you know how to multiply decimal numbers first. You can try our hexadecimal multiplication table to help you learn how to multiply simple hexadecimal numbers together. In very simple terms, these are the steps for hexadecimal multiplication at the basic level:

1. Write down both numbers in hexadecimal with the first number below the second number.
2. For the second number we first need to multiply the ones columns (rightmost digit) left to right with the top number digit by digit, carrying higher numbers as we go and writing down in the first row below the multiplication.
3. We then can multiply the “tens” digit as we would call it in decimal (second column) with all numbers in the first column leaving the first digit empty or zero (ones column) as we are now working in the “tens” digit. Remember to add your carries.
4. Finally, we can add these two numbers together to get a result. You can use our hexadecimal addition calculator if you need to remember how to do this.
