How to calculate 59 multiplied by 53

How to calculate 59 multiplied by 53 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 59 times 53 using long multiplication:

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

	5	9
x	5	3

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

	2
	5	9
x	5	3
		7

Step 3: 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		5	3
	1	7	7

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		5	3
	1	7	7
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 9 = 45. Put 5 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

		4
		5	9
x		5	3
	1	7	7

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 5 = 25. Take 25 and add 4 from the previous step to get 29. Enter 29 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (177 + 2950 = 3127) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 59 times 53 equals:
