How to calculate 54 multiplied by 37

How to calculate 54 multiplied by 37 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 54 times 37 using long multiplication:

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

	5	4
x	3	7

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

	2
	5	4
x	3	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		3	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		3	7
	3	7	8
+			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	7
	3	7	8
+		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	7
		3	7	8
+	1	6	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (378 + 1620 = 1998) to get the answer:

			5	4
x			3	7
		3	7	8
+	1	6	2	0
=	1	9	9	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 54 times 37 equals:

1998
