How to calculate 84 multiplied by 56

How to calculate 84 multiplied by 56 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 84 times 56 using long multiplication:

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

	8	4
x	5	6

Step 2: Multiply
4 x 6 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	8	4
x	5	6
		4

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 8 = 48. Take 48 and add 2 from the previous step to get 50. Enter 50 at the bottom:

		8	4
x		5	6
	5	0	4

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

		8	4
x		5	6
	5	0	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 4 = 20. Put 0 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

		2
		8	4
x		5	6
	5	0	4
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Take 40 and add 2 from the previous step to get 42. Enter 42 at the bottom:

			8	4
x			5	6
		5	0	4
+	4	2	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (504 + 4200 = 4704) to get the answer:

			8	4
x			5	6
		5	0	4
+	4	2	0	0
=	4	7	0	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 84 times 56 equals:

4704
