Question

56 times 82 show all your work

Answer 1

In order to multiply easier, set up your work like this:

  56
x82
----------

This helps you keep your digits aligned and avoid confusion. What you do is multiply the first number (56) by the "ones" value of the second number (2).

  56
x82
------
 112

Next, multiply the first number (56) by the "tens" value of the second number (80). You can write this product directly underneath the first product.

    56
  x82
 ------
    112
4480

Now all you have to do is add both the products. 

     56
   x82
--------
    112
4480
--------
4592

Final Answer: 56 times 82 = 4592
