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

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

	5	9
x	5	9

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 9 = 81. Put 1 below the line and 8 as a reminder on top:

	8
	5	9
x	5	9
		1

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 5 = 45. Take 45 and add 8 from the previous step to get 53. Enter 53 at the bottom:

		5	9
x		5	9
	5	3	1

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	9
	5	3	1
+			0

Step 5: Multiply

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (531 + 2950 = 3481) to get the answer:

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