How to calculate 58 multiplied by 29

How to calculate 58 multiplied by 29 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 58 times 29 using long multiplication:

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

	5	8
x	2	9

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 9 = 72. Put 2 below the line and 7 as a reminder on top:

	7
	5	8
x	2	9
		2

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 5 = 45. Take 45 and add 7 from the previous step to get 52. Enter 52 at the bottom:

		5	8
x		2	9
	5	2	2

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		2	9
	5	2	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 8 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (522 + 1160 = 1682) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 58 times 29 equals:

1682
