How to calculate 56 multiplied by 44

How to calculate 56 multiplied by 44 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 56 times 44 using long multiplication:

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

	5	6
x	4	4

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

	2
	5	6
x	4	4
		4

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	6
x		4	4
	2	2	4

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	4
	2	2	4
+			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	4
	2	2	4
+		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	4
		2	2	4
+	2	2	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (224 + 2240 = 2464) to get the answer:

			5	6
x			4	4
		2	2	4
+	2	2	4	0
=	2	4	6	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 56 times 44 equals:

2464
