How to calculate 48 multiplied by 40

How to calculate 48 multiplied by 40 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 48 times 40 using long multiplication:

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

	4	8
x	4	0

Step 2: Multiply
8 x 0 = 0. Put 0 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

	0
	4	8
x	4	0
		0

Step 3: Multiply
0 x 4 = 0. Take 0 and add 0 from the previous step to get 0. Enter 0 at the bottom:

	4	8
x	4	0
	0	0

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	4	0
	0	0
+		0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Put 2 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

	3
	4	8
x	4	0
	0	0
+	2	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 4 = 16. Take 16 and add 3 from the previous step to get 19. Enter 19 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (0 + 1920 = 1920) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 48 times 40 equals:

1920
