How to calculate 89 multiplied by 53

How to calculate 89 multiplied by 53 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 89 times 53 using long multiplication:

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

	8	9
x	5	3

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 3 = 27. Put 7 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	8	9
x	5	3
		7

Step 3: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Take 24 and add 2 from the previous step to get 26. Enter 26 at the bottom:

		8	9
x		5	3
	2	6	7

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

		8	9
x		5	3
	2	6	7
+			0

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

		4
		8	9
x		5	3
	2	6	7
+		5	0

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 8 = 40. Take 40 and add 4 from the previous step to get 44. Enter 44 at the bottom:

			8	9
x			5	3
		2	6	7
+	4	4	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (267 + 4450 = 4717) to get the answer:

			8	9
x			5	3
		2	6	7
+	4	4	5	0
=	4	7	1	7

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 89 times 53 equals:
