How to calculate 97 multiplied by 55

How to calculate 97 multiplied by 55 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 97 times 55 using long multiplication:

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

	9	7
x	5	5

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 5 = 35. Put 5 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	9	7
x	5	5
		5

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

		9	7
x		5	5
	4	8	5

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

		9	7
x		5	5
	4	8	5
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 7 = 35. Put 5 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

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	7
x			5	5
		4	8	5
+	4	8	5	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (485 + 4850 = 5335) to get the answer:

			9	7
x			5	5
		4	8	5
+	4	8	5	0
=	5	3	3	5

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 97 times 55 equals:
