How to calculate 47 multiplied by 47

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

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

	4	7
x	4	7

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

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

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 4 = 16. Take 16 and add 2 from the previous step to get 18. Enter 18 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (329 + 1880 = 2209) to get the answer:

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

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

2209
