How to calculate 59 multiplied by 36

How to calculate 59 multiplied by 36 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 59 times 36 using long multiplication:

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

	5	9
x	3	6

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

	5
	5	9
x	3	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		3	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		3	6
	3	5	4
+			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	6
	3	5	4
+		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	6
		3	5	4
+	1	7	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (354 + 1770 = 2124) to get the answer:

			5	9
x			3	6
		3	5	4
+	1	7	7	0
=	2	1	2	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 59 times 36 equals:

2124
