How to calculate 98 multiplied by 47

How to calculate 98 multiplied by 47 using long multiplication. Here is step-by-step how to calculate 98 times 47 using long multiplication:

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

	9	8
x	4	7

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

	5
	9	8
x	4	7
		6

Step 3: Multiply
7 x 9 = 63. Take 63 and add 5 from the previous step to get 68. Enter 68 at the bottom:

		9	8
x		4	7
	6	8	6

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

		9	8
x		4	7
	6	8	6
+			0

Step 5: Multiply
4 x 8 = 32. Put 2 below the line and 3 as a reminder on top:

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

Step 6: Multiply
4 x 9 = 36. Take 36 and add 3 from the previous step to get 39. Enter 39 at the bottom:

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

Step 7: Add to get answer
Add up the bottom two numbers (686 + 3920 = 4606) to get the answer:

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

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 98 times 47 equals:
