How to calculate 89 multiplied by 61 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 89 times 61 using long multiplication:

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

	8	9
x	6	1

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 1 = 9. Put 9 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	8	9
x	6	1
		9

Step 3: Multiply
1 x 8 = 8. Take 8 and add 0 from the previous step to get 8. Enter 8 at the bottom:

	8	9
x	6	1
	8	9

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	6	1
	8	9
+		0

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

Step 6: 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			6	1
			8	9
+	5	3	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (89 + 5340 = 5429) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 89 times 61 equals:
