How to calculate 61 multiplied by 59

How to calculate 61 multiplied by 59 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 61 times 59 using long multiplication:

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

	6	1
x	5	9

Step 2: Multiply
1 x 9 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	6	1
x	5	9
		9

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 6 = 54. Take 54 and add 0 from the previous step to get 54. Enter 54 at the bottom:

		6	1
x		5	9
	5	4	9

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

		6	1
x		5	9
	5	4	9
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 1 = 5. Put 5 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 6 = 30. Take 30 and add 0 from the previous step to get 30. Enter 30 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (549 + 3050 = 3599) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 61 times 59 equals:

3599
