How to calculate 54 multiplied by 43

How to calculate 54 multiplied by 43 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 54 times 43 using long multiplication:

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

	5	4
x	4	3

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

	1
	5	4
x	4	3
		2

Step 3: 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		4	3
	1	6	2

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		4	3
	1	6	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 4 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (162 + 2160 = 2322) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 54 times 43 equals:

2322
