Multiplication

We are required to multiply 56 x 29 manually.

First, we place the number in the same order of units:

56

x 29

------------------

Now we start multiplying the rightmost digits of each number: 6*9=54

We write the number 4 just under the two digits and carry the 5.

+5 (carry)

56

x 29

------------------

4

Now we multiply 5*9=45. Add the carry 45+5=50. We write the 0 and carry the 5. Since there are no more digits to the left, we simply place the 5:

56

x 29

------------------

504

We have multiplied the 9. Now repeat the procedure with the number 2. 2*6=12. Write 2 and carry the 1. We must place the new number in a file and shifted one unit to the left:

+1 (carry)

56

x 29

------------------

504

2

Now multiply 2*5=10. Add the carry 10+1=11. Write if completely because there are no more digits to multiply:

56

x 29

------------------

504

+ 112

------------------

Adding the two rows

56

x 29

------------------

504

+ 112

------------------

1624

Final answer: 1624
