How to calculate 57 multiplied by 38

How to calculate 57 multiplied by 38 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 57 times 38 using long multiplication:

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

	5	7
x	3	8

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Put 6 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	5	7
x	3	8
		6

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 5 = 40. Take 40 and add 5 from the previous step to get 45. Enter 45 at the bottom:

		5	7
x		3	8
	4	5	6

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		3	8
	4	5	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

		2
		5	7
x		3	8
	4	5	6
+		1	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 5 = 15. Take 15 and add 2 from the previous step to get 17. Enter 17 at the bottom:

			5	7
x			3	8
		4	5	6
+	1	7	1	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (456 + 1710 = 2166) to get the answer:

			5	7
x			3	8
		4	5	6
+	1	7	1	0
=	2	1	6	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 57 times 38 equals:
