How to calculate 58 multiplied by 12

How to calculate 58 multiplied by 12 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 58 times 12 using long multiplication:

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

	5	8
x	1	2

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 2 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	5	8
x	1	2
		6

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 5 = 10. Take 10 and add 1 from the previous step to get 11. Enter 11 at the bottom:

		5	8
x		1	2
	1	1	6

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

		5	8
x		1	2
	1	1	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 8 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		5	8
x		1	2
	1	1	6
+		8	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 5 = 5. Take 5 and add 0 from the previous step to get 5. Enter 5 at the bottom:

		5	8
x		1	2
	1	1	6
+	5	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (116 + 580 = 696) to get the answer:

		5	8
x		1	2
	1	1	6
+	5	8	0
=	6	9	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 58 times 12 equals:

696
