How to calculate 86 multiplied by 56

How to calculate 86 multiplied by 56 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 86 times 56 using long multiplication:

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

	8	6
x	5	6

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

	3
	8	6
x	5	6
		6

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 8 = 48. Take 48 and add 3 from the previous step to get 51. Enter 51 at the bottom:

		8	6
x		5	6
	5	1	6

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

		8	6
x		5	6
	5	1	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 6 = 30. Put 0 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

		3
		8	6
x		5	6
	5	1	6
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Take 40 and add 3 from the previous step to get 43. Enter 43 at the bottom:

			8	6
x			5	6
		5	1	6
+	4	3	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (516 + 4300 = 4816) to get the answer:

			8	6
x			5	6
		5	1	6
+	4	3	0	0
=	4	8	1	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 86 times 56 equals:

4816
