How to calculate 54 multiplied by 51

How to calculate 54 multiplied by 51 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 54 times 51 using long multiplication:

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

	5	4
x	5	1

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 1 = 4. Put 4 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	5	4
x	5	1
		4

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	4
x	5	1
	5	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	5	1
	5	4
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 4 = 20. Put 0 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	5	4
x	5	1
	5	4
+	0	0

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 5 = 25. Take 25 and add 2 from the previous step to get 27. Enter 27 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (54 + 2700 = 2754) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 54 times 51 equals:

2754
