Step 1. Set up the long multiplication.
Step 2. Calculate 8 x 9, which is 72.
Since 72 is two-digit, we carry the first digit 7 to the next column.
Step 3. Calculate 9 x 9, which is 81. Now add the carry digit of 7, which is 88.
Since 88 is two-digit, we carry the first digit 8 to the next column.
Step 4. Calculate 2 x 9, which is 18. Now add the carry digit of 8, which is 26.
Since 26 is two-digit, we carry the first digit 2 to the next column.
Step 5. Bring down the carry digit of 2.
Step 6. Calculate 8 x 2, which is 16.
Since 16 is two-digit, we carry the first digit 1 to the next column.
Step 7. Calculate 9 x 2, which is 18. Now add the carry digit of 1, which is 19.
Since 19 is two-digit, we carry the first digit 1 to the next column.
Step 8. Calculate 2 x 2, which is 4. Now add the carry digit of 1, which is 5.
Step 9. Calculate 2682 + 59600, which is 62282
Step 10. Therefore, 298 x 209 = 62282.
Done! :)
