How to calculate 79 multiplied by 54

How to calculate 79 multiplied by 54 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 79 times 54 using long multiplication:

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

	7	9
x	5	4

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 4 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	7	9
x	5	4
		6

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Take 28 and add 3 from the previous step to get 31. Enter 31 at the bottom:

		7	9
x		5	4
	3	1	6

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

		7	9
x		5	4
	3	1	6
+			0

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

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 7 = 35. Take 35 and add 4 from the previous step to get 39. Enter 39 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (316 + 3950 = 4266) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 79 times 54 equals:
