How to calculate 58 multiplied by 45

How to calculate 58 multiplied by 45 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 58 times 45 using long multiplication:

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

	5	8
x	4	5

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 5 = 40. Put 0 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	5	8
x	4	5
		0

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 5 = 25. Take 25 and add 4 from the previous step to get 29. Enter 29 at the bottom:

		5	8
x		4	5
	2	9	0

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	5
	2	9	0
+			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	5
	2	9	0
+		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	5
		2	9	0
+	2	3	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (290 + 2320 = 2610) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 58 times 45 equals:

2610
