Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 57 plus 16 (57 + 16) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 5 | 7 | |||||||
| + | 1 | 6 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (7 + 6 = 13). Since the sum creates 1 tens digit, we put the 1 in the tens column, and the 3 at the bottom of the ones:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 5 | 7 | |||||||
| + | 1 | 6 | ||||||
| 3 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (including the 1 from the previous step): 5 + 1 + 1 = 7 and put that sum at the bottom:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 5 | 7 | |||||||
| + | 1 | 6 | ||||||
| 7 | 3 |
And that is how you solve 57 plus 16 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
57 + 16 = 73
