How to calculate 56 multiplied by 43

How to calculate 56 multiplied by 43 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 56 times 43 using long multiplication:

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

	5	6
x	4	3

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

	1
	5	6
x	4	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		4	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		4	3
	1	6	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 6 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

		2
		5	6
x		4	3
	1	6	8
+		4	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	6
x			4	3
		1	6	8
+	2	2	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (168 + 2240 = 2408) to get the answer:

			5	6
x			4	3
		1	6	8
+	2	2	4	0
=	2	4	0	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 56 times 43 equals:

2408
