How to calculate 57 multiplied by 48

How to calculate 57 multiplied by 48 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 57 times 48 using long multiplication:

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

	5	7
x	4	8

Step 2: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Put 6 below the line and 5 as a reminder on top:

	5
	5	7
x	4	8
		6

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 5 = 40. Take 40 and add 5 from the previous step to get 45. Enter 45 at the bottom:

		5	7
x		4	8
	4	5	6

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	8
	4	5	6
+			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	8
	4	5	6
+		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	8
		4	5	6
+	2	2	8	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (456 + 2280 = 2736) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 57 times 48 equals:

2736
