How to calculate 83 multiplied by 54

How to calculate 83 multiplied by 54 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 83 times 54 using long multiplication:

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

	8	3
x	5	4

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 4 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	8	3
x	5	4
		2

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Take 32 and add 1 from the previous step to get 33. Enter 33 at the bottom:

		8	3
x		5	4
	3	3	2

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

		8	3
x		5	4
	3	3	2
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 3 = 15. Put 5 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		8	3
x		5	4
	3	3	2
+		5	0

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Take 40 and add 1 from the previous step to get 41. Enter 41 at the bottom:

			8	3
x			5	4
		3	3	2
+	4	1	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (332 + 4150 = 4482) to get the answer:

			8	3
x			5	4
		3	3	2
+	4	1	5	0
=	4	4	8	2

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 83 times 54 equals:
