How to calculate 51 multiplied by 49

How to calculate 51 multiplied by 49 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 51 times 49 using long multiplication:

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

	5	1
x	4	9

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 9 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	5	1
x	4	9
		9

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 5 = 45. Take 45 and add 0 from the previous step to get 45. Enter 45 at the bottom:

		5	1
x		4	9
	4	5	9

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

		5	1
x		4	9
	4	5	9
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 1 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		5	1
x		4	9
	4	5	9
+		4	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Take 20 and add 0 from the previous step to get 20. Enter 20 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (459 + 2040 = 2499) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 51 times 49 equals:

2499
