How to calculate 69 multiplied by 59

How to calculate 69 multiplied by 59 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 69 times 59 using long multiplication:

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

	6	9
x	5	9

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

	8
	6	9
x	5	9
		1

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 6 = 54. Take 54 and add 8 from the previous step to get 62. Enter 62 at the bottom:

		6	9
x		5	9
	6	2	1

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

		6	9
x		5	9
	6	2	1
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 9 = 45. Put 5 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

		4
		6	9
x		5	9
	6	2	1

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 6 = 30. Take 30 and add 4 from the previous step to get 34. Enter 34 at the bottom:

			6	9
x			5	9
		6	2	1
+	3	4	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (621 + 3450 = 4071) to get the answer:

			6	9
x			5	9
		6	2	1
+	3	4	5	0
=	4	0	7	1

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 69 times 59 equals:
