How to calculate 59 multiplied by 28

How to calculate 59 multiplied by 28 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 59 times 28 using long multiplication:

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

	5	9
x	2	8

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (472 + 1180 = 1652) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 59 times 28 equals:

1652
