How to calculate 80 multiplied by 55

How to calculate 80 multiplied by 55 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 80 times 55 using long multiplication:

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

	8	0
x	5	5

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

	0
	8	0
x	5	5
		0

Step 3: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Take 40 and add 0 from the previous step to get 40. Enter 40 at the bottom:

		8	0
x		5	5
	4	0	0

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

		8	0
x		5	5
	4	0	0
+			0

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

		0
		8	0
x		5	5
	4	0	0
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Take 40 and add 0 from the previous step to get 40. Enter 40 at the bottom:

			8	0
x			5	5
		4	0	0
+	4	0	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (400 + 4000 = 4400) to get the answer:

			8	0
x			5	5
		4	0	0
+	4	0	0	0
=	4	4	0	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 80 times 55 equals:

4400
