How to calculate 83 multiplied by 48

How to calculate 83 multiplied by 48 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 83 times 48 using long multiplication:

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

	8	3
x	4	8

Step 2: Multiply
3 x 8 = 24. Put 4 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

	2
	8	3
x	4	8
		4

Step 3: Multiply
8 x 8 = 64. Take 64 and add 2 from the previous step to get 66. Enter 66 at the bottom:

		8	3
x		4	8
	6	6	4

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

		8	3
x		4	8
	6	6	4
+			0

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

		1
		8	3
x		4	8
	6	6	4
+		2	0

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Take 32 and add 1 from the previous step to get 33. Enter 33 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (664 + 3320 = 3984) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 83 times 48 equals:

3984
