How to calculate 58 multiplied by 42

How to calculate 58 multiplied by 42 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 58 times 42 using long multiplication:

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

	5	8
x	4	2

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

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

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Put 2 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Take 20 and add 3 from the previous step to get 23. Enter 23 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (116 + 2320 = 2436) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 58 times 42 equals:

2436
