How to calculate 59 multiplied by 18

How to calculate 59 multiplied by 18 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 59 times 18 using long multiplication:

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

	5	9
x	1	8

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

	7
	5	9
x	1	8
		2

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 5 = 40. Take 40 and add 7 from the previous step to get 47. Enter 47 at the bottom:

		5	9
x		1	8
	4	7	2

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

		5	9
x		1	8
	4	7	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 9 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		5	9
x		1	8
	4	7	2
+		9	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	9
x		1	8
	4	7	2
+	5	9	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (472 + 590 = 1062) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 59 times 18 equals:

1062
