How to calculate 55 multiplied by 38 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 55 times 38 using long multiplication:
Step 1: Setup
Set up your multiplication problem like this:
| 5 | 5 | |||||||
| x | 3 | 8 | ||||||
Step 2: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Put 0 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:
| 4 | ||||||||
| 5 | 5 | |||||||
| x | 3 | 8 | ||||||
| 0 |
Step 3: Multiply
8 x 5 = 40. Take 40 and add 4 from the previous step to get 44. Enter 44 at the bottom:
| 5 | 5 | |||||||
| x | 3 | 8 | ||||||
| 4 | 4 | 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 | 8 | ||||||
| 4 | 4 | 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 | 8 | ||||||
| 4 | 4 | 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 | 8 | ||||||
| 4 | 4 | 0 | ||||||
| + | 1 | 6 | 5 | 0 |
Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (440 + 1650 = 2090) to get the answer:
| 5 | 5 | |||||||
| x | 3 | 8 | ||||||
| 4 | 4 | 0 | ||||||
| + | 1 | 6 | 5 | 0 | ||||
| = | 2 | 0 | 9 | 0 |
The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 55 times 38 equals:
2090
