How to calculate 57 multiplied by 40

How to calculate 57 multiplied by 40 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 57 times 40 using long multiplication:

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

	5	7
x	4	0

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

	0
	5	7
x	4	0
		0

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

	5	7
x	4	0
	0	0

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	4	0
	0	0
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	5	7
x	4	0
	0	0
+	8	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	7
x			4	0
			0	0
+	2	2	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (0 + 2280 = 2280) to get the answer:

			5	7
x			4	0
			0	0
+	2	2	8	0
=	2	2	8	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 57 times 40 equals:

2280
