How to calculate 48 multiplied by 36

How to calculate 48 multiplied by 36 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 48 times 36 using long multiplication:

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

	4	8
x	3	6

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 6 = 48. Put 8 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	4	8
x	3	6
		8

Step 3: Multiply
6 x 4 = 24. Take 24 and add 4 from the previous step to get 28. Enter 28 at the bottom:

		4	8
x		3	6
	2	8	8

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	6
	2	8	8
+			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	6
	2	8	8
+		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	6
		2	8	8
+	1	4	4	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (288 + 1440 = 1728) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 48 times 36 equals:

1728
