How to calculate 56 multiplied by 32

How to calculate 56 multiplied by 32 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 56 times 32 using long multiplication:

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

	5	6
x	3	2

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 2 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	5	6
x	3	2
		2

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 5 = 10. Take 10 and add 1 from the previous step to get 11. Enter 11 at the bottom:

		5	6
x		3	2
	1	1	2

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		3	2
	1	1	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 6 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (112 + 1680 = 1792) to get the answer:

			5	6
x			3	2
		1	1	2
+	1	6	8	0
=	1	7	9	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 56 times 32 equals:

1792
