How to calculate 50 multiplied by 24

How to calculate 50 multiplied by 24 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 50 times 24 using long multiplication:

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

	5	0
x	2	4

Step 2: Multiply
0 x 4 = 0. Put 0 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	5	0
x	2	4
		0

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Take 20 and add 0 from the previous step to get 20. Enter 20 at the bottom:

		5	0
x		2	4
	2	0	0

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

		5	0
x		2	4
	2	0	0
+			0

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

		0
		5	0
x		2	4
	2	0	0
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 5 = 10. Take 10 and add 0 from the previous step to get 10. Enter 10 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (200 + 1000 = 1200) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 50 times 24 equals:

1200
