How to calculate 97 multiplied by 59

How to calculate 97 multiplied by 59 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 97 times 59 using long multiplication:

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

	9	7
x	5	9

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 9 = 63. Put 3 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

	6
	9	7
x	5	9
		3

Step 3: Multiply
9 x 9 = 81. Take 81 and add 6 from the previous step to get 87. Enter 87 at the bottom:

		9	7
x		5	9
	8	7	3

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	9
	8	7	3
+			0

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (873 + 4850 = 5723) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 97 times 59 equals:
