How to calculate 53 multiplied by 26

How to calculate 53 multiplied by 26 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 53 times 26 using long multiplication:

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

	5	3
x	2	6

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 6 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	5	3
x	2	6
		8

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 5 = 30. Take 30 and add 1 from the previous step to get 31. Enter 31 at the bottom:

		5	3
x		2	6
	3	1	8

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	6
	3	1	8
+			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	6
	3	1	8
+		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	6
		3	1	8
+	1	0	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (318 + 1060 = 1378) to get the answer:

			5	3
x			2	6
		3	1	8
+	1	0	6	0
=	1	3	7	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 53 times 26 equals:

1378
