How to calculate 48 multiplied by 38

How to calculate 48 multiplied by 38 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 48 times 38 using long multiplication:

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

	4	8
x	3	8

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

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (384 + 1440 = 1824) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 48 times 38 equals:

1824
