How to calculate 57 multiplied by 21

How to calculate 57 multiplied by 21 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 57 times 21 using long multiplication:

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

	5	7
x	2	1

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 1 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	5	7
x	2	1
		7

Step 3: Multiply
1 x 5 = 5. Take 5 and add 0 from the previous step to get 5. Enter 5 at the bottom:

	5	7
x	2	1
	5	7

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

	5	7
x	2	1
	5	7
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Put 4 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	5	7
x	2	1
	5	7
+	4	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 5 = 10. Take 10 and add 1 from the previous step to get 11. Enter 11 at the bottom:

			5	7
x			2	1
			5	7
+	1	1	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (57 + 1140 = 1197) to get the answer:

			5	7
x			2	1
			5	7
+	1	1	4	0
=	1	1	9	7

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 57 times 21 equals:

1197
