How to calculate 57 multiplied by 56

How to calculate 57 multiplied by 56 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 57 times 56 using long multiplication:

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

	5	7
x	5	6

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 6 = 42. Put 2 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	5	7
x	5	6
		2

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 5 = 30. Take 30 and add 4 from the previous step to get 34. Enter 34 at the bottom:

		5	7
x		5	6
	3	4	2

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		5	6
	3	4	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 7 = 35. Put 5 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 5 = 25. Take 25 and add 3 from the previous step to get 28. Enter 28 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (342 + 2850 = 3192) to get the answer:

			5	7
x			5	6
		3	4	2
+	2	8	5	0
=	3	1	9	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 57 times 56 equals:

3192
