How to calculate 53 multiplied by 37

How to calculate 53 multiplied by 37 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 53 times 37 using long multiplication:

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

	5	3
x	3	7

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	5	3
x	3	7
		1

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 5 = 35. Take 35 and add 2 from the previous step to get 37. Enter 37 at the bottom:

		5	3
x		3	7
	3	7	1

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		3	7
	3	7	1
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 3 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		5	3
x		3	7
	3	7	1
+		9	0

Step 6: 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			3	7
		3	7	1
+	1	5	9	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (371 + 1590 = 1961) to get the answer:

			5	3
x			3	7
		3	7	1
+	1	5	9	0
=	1	9	6	1

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 53 times 37 equals:

1961
