How to calculate 54 multiplied by 36

How to calculate 54 multiplied by 36 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 54 times 36 using long multiplication:

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

	5	4
x	3	6

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 6 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	5	4
x	3	6
		4

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 5 = 30. Take 30 and add 2 from the previous step to get 32. Enter 32 at the bottom:

		5	4
x		3	6
	3	2	4

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		3	6
	3	2	4
+			0

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

		1
		5	4
x		3	6
	3	2	4
+		2	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 5 = 15. Take 15 and add 1 from the previous step to get 16. Enter 16 at the bottom:

			5	4
x			3	6
		3	2	4
+	1	6	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (324 + 1620 = 1944) to get the answer:

			5	4
x			3	6
		3	2	4
+	1	6	2	0
=	1	9	4	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 54 times 36 equals:

1944
