How to calculate 54 multiplied by 17

How to calculate 54 multiplied by 17 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 54 times 17 using long multiplication:

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

	5	4
x	1	7

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	5	4
x	1	7
		8

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	4
x		1	7
	3	7	8

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

		5	4
x		1	7
	3	7	8
+			0

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

		0
		5	4
x		1	7
	3	7	8
+		4	0

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

		5	4
x		1	7
	3	7	8
+	5	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (378 + 540 = 918) to get the answer:

		5	4
x		1	7
	3	7	8
+	5	4	0
=	9	1	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 54 times 17 equals:

918
