How to calculate 57 multiplied by 47

How to calculate 57 multiplied by 47 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 57 times 47 using long multiplication:

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

	5	7
x	4	7

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Put 9 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

	4
	5	7
x	4	7
		9

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 5 = 35. Take 35 and add 4 from the previous step to get 39. Enter 39 at the bottom:

		5	7
x		4	7
	3	9	9

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

		5	7
x		4	7
	3	9	9
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Put 8 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

		2
		5	7
x		4	7
	3	9	9
+		8	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 5 = 20. Take 20 and add 2 from the previous step to get 22. Enter 22 at the bottom:

			5	7
x			4	7
		3	9	9
+	2	2	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (399 + 2280 = 2679) to get the answer:

			5	7
x			4	7
		3	9	9
+	2	2	8	0
=	2	6	7	9

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 57 times 47 equals:
