How to calculate 64 multiplied by 56

How to calculate 64 multiplied by 56 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 64 times 56 using long multiplication:

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

	6	4
x	5	6

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 6 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	6	4
x	5	6
		4

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Take 36 and add 2 from the previous step to get 38. Enter 38 at the bottom:

		6	4
x		5	6
	3	8	4

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

		6	4
x		5	6
	3	8	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 4 = 20. Put 0 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

		2
		6	4
x		5	6
	3	8	4
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 6 = 30. Take 30 and add 2 from the previous step to get 32. Enter 32 at the bottom:

			6	4
x			5	6
		3	8	4
+	3	2	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (384 + 3200 = 3584) to get the answer:

			6	4
x			5	6
		3	8	4
+	3	2	0	0
=	3	5	8	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 64 times 56 equals:

3584
