How to calculate 89 multiplied by 56

How to calculate 89 multiplied by 56 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 89 times 56 using long multiplication:

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

	8	9
x	5	6

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 6 = 54. Put 4 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	8	9
x	5	6
		4

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 8 = 48. Take 48 and add 5 from the previous step to get 53. Enter 53 at the bottom:

		8	9
x		5	6
	5	3	4

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	6
	5	3	4
+			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	6
	5	3	4
+		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	6
		5	3	4
+	4	4	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (534 + 4450 = 4984) to get the answer:

			8	9
x			5	6
		5	3	4
+	4	4	5	0
=	4	9	8	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 89 times 56 equals:

4984
