How to calculate 55 multiplied by 37

How to calculate 55 multiplied by 37 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 55 times 37 using long multiplication:

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

	5	5
x	3	7

Step 2: Multiply
5 x 7 = 35. Put 5 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	5	5
x	3	7
		5

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 5 = 35. Take 35 and add 3 from the previous step to get 38. Enter 38 at the bottom:

		5	5
x		3	7
	3	8	5

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	7
	3	8	5
+			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	7
	3	8	5
+		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	7
		3	8	5
+	1	6	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (385 + 1650 = 2035) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 55 times 37 equals:

2035
