How to calculate 53 multiplied by 23

How to calculate 53 multiplied by 23 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 53 times 23 using long multiplication:

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

	5	3
x	2	3

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 3 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	5	3
x	2	3
		9

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 5 = 15. Take 15 and add 0 from the previous step to get 15. Enter 15 at the bottom:

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

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 3 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		5	3
x		2	3
	1	5	9
+		6	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	3
x			2	3
		1	5	9
+	1	0	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (159 + 1060 = 1219) to get the answer:

			5	3
x			2	3
		1	5	9
+	1	0	6	0
=	1	2	1	9

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 53 times 23 equals:

1219
