How to calculate 96 multiplied by 54

How to calculate 96 multiplied by 54 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 96 times 54 using long multiplication:

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

	9	6
x	5	4

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

	2
	9	6
x	5	4
		4

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 9 = 36. Take 36 and add 2 from the previous step to get 38. Enter 38 at the bottom:

		9	6
x		5	4
	3	8	4

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

		9	6
x		5	4
	3	8	4
+			0

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

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

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 9 = 45. Take 45 and add 3 from the previous step to get 48. Enter 48 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (384 + 4800 = 5184) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 96 times 54 equals:

5184
