How to calculate 84 multiplied by 47

How to calculate 84 multiplied by 47 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 84 times 47 using long multiplication:

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

	8	4
x	4	7

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

	2
	8	4
x	4	7
		8

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 8 = 56. Take 56 and add 2 from the previous step to get 58. Enter 58 at the bottom:

		8	4
x		4	7
	5	8	8

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

		8	4
x		4	7
	5	8	8
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 4 = 16. Put 6 below the line and 1 as a reminder on top:

		1
		8	4
x		4	7
	5	8	8
+		6	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	4
x			4	7
		5	8	8
+	3	3	6	0

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (588 + 3360 = 3948) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 84 times 47 equals:

3948
