Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 28 plus 16 (28 + 16) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
2 | 8 | |||||||
+ | 1 | 6 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (8 + 6 = 14). Since the sum creates 1 tens digit, we put the 1 in the tens column, and the 4 at the bottom of the ones:
1 | ||||||||
2 | 8 | |||||||
+ | 1 | 6 | ||||||
4 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (including the 1 from the previous step): 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 and put that sum at the bottom:
1 | ||||||||
2 | 8 | |||||||
+ | 1 | 6 | ||||||
4 | 4 |
And that is how you solve 28 plus 16 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
28 + 16 = 44
