How to calculate 59 multiplied by 26

How to calculate 59 multiplied by 26 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 59 times 26 using long multiplication:

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

	5	9
x	2	6

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 6 = 54. Put 4 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	5	9
x	2	6
		4

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 5 = 30. Take 30 and add 5 from the previous step to get 35. Enter 35 at the bottom:

		5	9
x		2	6
	3	5	4

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		2	6
	3	5	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 9 = 18. Put 8 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (354 + 1180 = 1534) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 59 times 26 equals:

1534
