How to calculate 56 multiplied by 36

How to calculate 56 multiplied by 36 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 56 times 36 using long multiplication:

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

	5	6
x	3	6

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	5	6
x	3	6
		6

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 5 = 30. Take 30 and add 3 from the previous step to get 33. Enter 33 at the bottom:

		5	6
x		3	6
	3	3	6

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	6
	3	3	6
+			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	6
	3	3	6
+		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	6
		3	3	6
+	1	6	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (336 + 1680 = 2016) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 56 times 36 equals:
