How to calculate 55 multiplied by 30

How to calculate 55 multiplied by 30 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 55 times 30 using long multiplication:

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

	5	5
x	3	0

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

	0
	5	5
x	3	0
		0

Step 3: Multiply
0 x 5 = 0. Take 0 and add 0 from the previous step to get 0. Enter 0 at the bottom:

	5	5
x	3	0
	0	0

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

	5	5
x	3	0
	0	0
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 5 = 15. Put 5 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	5	5
x	3	0
	0	0
+	5	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	5
x			3	0
			0	0
+	1	6	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (0 + 1650 = 1650) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 55 times 30 equals:

1650
