how do I multiply two columns of numbers one by another?
almost every # is different but there is the same amount of them in both
columns.

Assuming columns A and B.

In C1 enter =A1+B1

Double-click on the fill handle of C1 to copy down.

Fill handle is the little black lump at bottom-right corner of the cell.

I think that Gord intended:

=A1*B1

but if you want to add all the results of the multiplications up without
having the results of the multiplication try

=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A100,B1:B100)

adjust the ranges to suit.
