How to calculate 66 multiplied by 56

How to calculate 66 multiplied by 56 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 66 times 56 using long multiplication:

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

	6	6
x	5	6

Step 2: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	6	6
x	5	6
		6

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Take 36 and add 3 from the previous step to get 39. Enter 39 at the bottom:

		6	6
x		5	6
	3	9	6

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

		6	6
x		5	6
	3	9	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 6 = 30. Put 0 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

		3
		6	6
x		5	6
	3	9	6
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 6 = 30. Take 30 and add 3 from the previous step to get 33. Enter 33 at the bottom:

			6	6
x			5	6
		3	9	6
+	3	3	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (396 + 3300 = 3696) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 66 times 56 equals:

3696
