How to calculate 99 multiplied by 54

How to calculate 99 multiplied by 54 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 99 times 54 using long multiplication:

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

	9	9
x	5	4

Step 2: Multiply
9 x 4 = 36. Put 6 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	9	9
x	5	4
		6

Step 3: Multiply
4 x 9 = 36. Take 36 and add 3 from the previous step to get 39. Enter 39 at the bottom:

		9	9
x		5	4
	3	9	6

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

		9	9
x		5	4
	3	9	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
5 x 9 = 45. Put 5 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
5 x 9 = 45. Take 45 and add 4 from the previous step to get 49. Enter 49 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (396 + 4950 = 5346) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 99 times 54 equals:

5346
