How to calculate 53 multiplied by 41

How to calculate 53 multiplied by 41 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 53 times 41 using long multiplication:

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

	5	3
x	4	1

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 1 = 3. Put 3 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	5	3
x	4	1
		3

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

	5	3
x	4	1
	5	3

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	4	1
	5	3
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 3 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	5	3
x	4	1
	5	3
+	2	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Take 20 and add 1 from the previous step to get 21. Enter 21 at the bottom:

			5	3
x			4	1
			5	3
+	2	1	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (53 + 2120 = 2173) to get the answer:

			5	3
x			4	1
			5	3
+	2	1	2	0
=	2	1	7	3

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 53 times 41 equals:

2173
