How to calculate 48 multiplied by 18

How to calculate 48 multiplied by 18 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 48 times 18 using long multiplication:

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

	4	8
x	1	8

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 8 = 64. Put 4 below the line and 6 as a reminder on top:

	6
	4	8
x	1	8
		4

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 4 = 32. Take 32 and add 6 from the previous step to get 38. Enter 38 at the bottom:

		4	8
x		1	8
	3	8	4

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

		4	8
x		1	8
	3	8	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
1 x 8 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		4	8
x		1	8
	3	8	4
+		8	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	8
x		1	8
	3	8	4
+	4	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (384 + 480 = 864) to get the answer:

		4	8
x		1	8
	3	8	4
+	4	8	0
=	8	6	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 48 times 18 equals:

864
