How to calculate 47 multiplied by 17

How to calculate 47 multiplied by 17 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 47 times 17 using long multiplication:

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

	4	7
x	1	7

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Put 9 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	4	7
x	1	7
		9

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 4 = 28. Take 28 and add 4 from the previous step to get 32. Enter 32 at the bottom:

		4	7
x		1	7
	3	2	9

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

		4	7
x		1	7
	3	2	9
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 7 = 7. Put 7 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		4	7
x		1	7
	3	2	9
+		7	0

Step 6: Multiply
1 x 4 = 4. Take 4 and add 0 from the previous step to get 4. Enter 4 at the bottom:

		4	7
x		1	7
	3	2	9
+	4	7	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (329 + 470 = 799) to get the answer:

		4	7
x		1	7
	3	2	9
+	4	7	0
=	7	9	9

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 47 times 17 equals:

799
