How to calculate 48 multiplied by 32

How to calculate 48 multiplied by 32 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 48 times 32 using long multiplication:

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

	4	8
x	3	2

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 2 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	4	8
x	3	2
		6

Step 3: Multiply
2 x 4 = 8. Take 8 and add 1 from the previous step to get 9. Enter 9 at the bottom:

	4	8
x	3	2
	9	6

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	3	2
	9	6
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (96 + 1440 = 1536) to get the answer:

			4	8
x			3	2
			9	6
+	1	4	4	0
=	1	5	3	6

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 48 times 32 equals:

1536
