How to calculate 48 multiplied by 42 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 48 times 42 using long multiplication:

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

	4	8
x	4	2

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

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

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

	3

	9	6
+	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	2
			9	6
+	1	9	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (96 + 1920 = 2016) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 48 times 42 equals:
