How to calculate 16 x 15

Multiplying two numbers together is one of the most basic mathematical operations. For 16 x 15, you can use several methods:

Standard multiplication method

Write both numbers vertically
Multiply 15 by each digit of 16 (10 and 6)
Add the partial results

Formula: a × b = (a × 10) + (a × 6)

Using the distributive property

You can break down the multiplication using the distributive property of multiplication over addition:

16 × 15 = 16 × (10 + 5) = (16 × 10) + (16 × 5) = 160 + 80 = 240

Using repeated addition

For smaller numbers, you can add 16 together 15 times:

16 + 16 + 16 + ... (15 times) = 240

Formula used

The basic multiplication formula is:

a × b = product

Where:

a = first number (16)
b = second number (15)
product = result of multiplication

For 16 × 15, the calculation is straightforward:

16 × 15 = 240

Worked example

Let's solve 16 × 15 step by step:

Break down 15 into 10 and 5
Multiply 16 by 10: 16 × 10 = 160
Multiply 16 by 5: 16 × 5 = 80
Add the partial results: 160 + 80 = 240

Step	Calculation	Result
1	16 × 10	160
2	16 × 5	80
3	160 + 80	240

The final result is 240, which you can verify by counting 16 groups of 15 items each.
