How to calculate 45 multiplied by 23

How to calculate 45 multiplied by 23 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 45 times 23 using long multiplication:

Step 1: Setup
Set up your multiplication problem like this:

	4	5
x	2	3

Step 2: Multiply
5 x 3 = 15. Put 5 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	4	5
x	2	3
		5

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 4 = 12. Take 12 and add 1 from the previous step to get 13. Enter 13 at the bottom:

		4	5
x		2	3
	1	3	5

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

		4	5
x		2	3
	1	3	5
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 5 = 10. Put 0 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		4	5
x		2	3
	1	3	5
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 4 = 8. Take 8 and add 1 from the previous step to get 9. Enter 9 at the bottom:

		4	5
x		2	3
	1	3	5
+	9	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (135 + 900 = 1035) to get the answer:

			4	5
x			2	3
		1	3	5
+		9	0	0
=	1	0	3	5

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 45 times 23 equals:

1035
