How to calculate 56 multiplied by 13

How to calculate 56 multiplied by 13 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 56 times 13 using long multiplication:

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

	5	6
x	1	3

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 3 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	5	6
x	1	3
		8

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 5 = 15. Take 15 and add 1 from the previous step to get 16. Enter 16 at the bottom:

		5	6
x		1	3
	1	6	8

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

		5	6
x		1	3
	1	6	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 6 = 6. Put 6 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		5	6
x		1	3
	1	6	8
+		6	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 5 = 5. Take 5 and add 0 from the previous step to get 5. Enter 5 at the bottom:

		5	6
x		1	3
	1	6	8
+	5	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (168 + 560 = 728) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 56 times 13 equals:

728
