How to calculate 55 multiplied by 44

How to calculate 55 multiplied by 44 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 55 times 44 using long multiplication:

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

	5	5
x	4	4

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

	2
	5	5
x	4	4
		0

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Take 20 and add 2 from the previous step to get 22. Enter 22 at the bottom:

		5	5
x		4	4
	2	2	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		4	4
	2	2	0
+			0

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

		2
		5	5
x		4	4
	2	2	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Take 20 and add 2 from the previous step to get 22. Enter 22 at the bottom:

			5	5
x			4	4
		2	2	0
+	2	2	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (220 + 2200 = 2420) to get the answer:

			5	5
x			4	4
		2	2	0
+	2	2	0	0
=	2	4	2	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 55 times 44 equals:
