How to calculate 52 multiplied by 47

How to calculate 52 multiplied by 47 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 52 times 47 using long multiplication:

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

	5	2
x	4	7

Step 2: Multiply
2 x 7 = 14. Put 4 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

	1
	5	2
x	4	7
		4

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 5 = 35. Take 35 and add 1 from the previous step to get 36. Enter 36 at the bottom:

		5	2
x		4	7
	3	6	4

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

		5	2
x		4	7
	3	6	4
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 2 = 8. Put 8 below the line and 0 as a reminder on top:

		0
		5	2
x		4	7
	3	6	4
+		8	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	2
x			4	7
		3	6	4
+	2	0	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (364 + 2080 = 2444) to get the answer:

			5	2
x			4	7
		3	6	4
+	2	0	8	0
=	2	4	4	4

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 52 times 47 equals:

2444
