How to calculate 50 multiplied by 48

How to calculate 50 multiplied by 48 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 50 times 48 using long multiplication:

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

	5	0
x	4	8

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

	0
	5	0
x	4	8
		0

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 5 = 40. Take 40 and add 0 from the previous step to get 40. Enter 40 at the bottom:

		5	0
x		4	8
	4	0	0

Step 4: Add 0
Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

		5	0
x		4	8
	4	0	0
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 0 = 0. Put 0 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		5	0
x		4	8
	4	0	0
+		0	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Take 20 and add 0 from the previous step to get 20. Enter 20 at the bottom:

			5	0
x			4	8
		4	0	0
+	2	0	0	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (400 + 2000 = 2400) to get the answer:

			5	0
x			4	8
		4	0	0
+	2	0	0	0
=	2	4	0	0

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 50 times 48 equals:

2400
