How to calculate 73 multiplied by 47

How to calculate 73 multiplied by 47 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 73 times 47 using long multiplication:

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

	7	3
x	4	7

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 7 = 21. Put 1 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	7	3
x	4	7
		1

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 7 = 49. Take 49 and add 2 from the previous step to get 51. Enter 51 at the bottom:

		7	3
x		4	7
	5	1	1

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

		7	3
x		4	7
	5	1	1
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 3 = 12. Put 2 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 7 = 28. Take 28 and add 1 from the previous step to get 29. Enter 29 at the bottom:

			7	3
x			4	7
		5	1	1
+	2	9	2	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (511 + 2920 = 3431) to get the answer:

			7	3
x			4	7
		5	1	1
+	2	9	2	0
=	3	4	3	1

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 73 times 47 equals:
