How to calculate 47 multiplied by 37

How to calculate 47 multiplied by 37 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 47 times 37 using long multiplication:

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

	4	7
x	3	7

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

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

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
3 x 4 = 12. Take 12 and add 2 from the previous step to get 14. Enter 14 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (329 + 1410 = 1739) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 47 times 37 equals:
