How to calculate 62 multiplied by 56

How to calculate 62 multiplied by 56 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 62 times 56 using long multiplication:

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

	6	2
x	5	6

Step 2: Multiply
2 x 6 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	6	2
x	5	6
		2

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Take 36 and add 1 from the previous step to get 37. Enter 37 at the bottom:

		6	2
x		5	6
	3	7	2

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

		6	2
x		5	6
	3	7	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 2 = 10. Put 0 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		6	2
x		5	6
	3	7	2
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 6 = 30. Take 30 and add 1 from the previous step to get 31. Enter 31 at the bottom:

			6	2
x			5	6
		3	7	2
+	3	1	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (372 + 3100 = 3472) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 62 times 56 equals:

3472
