How to calculate 59 multiplied by 32

How to calculate 59 multiplied by 32 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 59 times 32 using long multiplication:

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

	5	9
x	3	2

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

	1
	5	9
x	3	2
		8

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	9
x		3	2
	1	1	8

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		3	2
	1	1	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 9 = 27. Put 7 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

		2
		5	9
x		3	2
	1	1	8
+		7	0

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 5 = 15. Take 15 and add 2 from the previous step to get 17. Enter 17 at the bottom:

			5	9
x			3	2
		1	1	8
+	1	7	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (118 + 1770 = 1888) to get the answer:

			5	9
x			3	2
		1	1	8
+	1	7	7	0
=	1	8	8	8

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 59 times 32 equals:

1888
