How to calculate 47 multiplied by 28

How to calculate 47 multiplied by 28 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 47 times 28 using long multiplication:

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

	4	7
x	2	8

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Put 6 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	4	7
x	2	8
		6

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 4 = 32. Take 32 and add 5 from the previous step to get 37. Enter 37 at the bottom:

		4	7
x		2	8
	3	7	6

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		2	8
	3	7	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Put 4 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		4	7
x		2	8
	3	7	6
+		4	0

Step 6: Multiply
2 x 4 = 8. Take 8 and add 1 from the previous step to get 9. Enter 9 at the bottom:

		4	7
x		2	8
	3	7	6
+	9	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (376 + 940 = 1316) to get the answer:

			4	7
x			2	8
		3	7	6
+		9	4	0
=	1	3	1	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 47 times 28 equals:

1316
